Welcome to Freeware Friday, a weekly column showcasing excellent games that you can play free of charge!

It takes a certain kind of person to play business simulations well. They must be devoted to detail, able to spot trends in markets, and instinctively know what works and what doesn't. For those that can't play business simulations well, the act of playing helps them excel in all these skills later on in life. It's both fun and useful, even though the skills are applied to a fantasy environment. For the freeware enthusiast that falls under these categories as a devotee of business simulations, look no further than Simutrans, a freeware remake of Chris Sawyer's seminal Transport Tycoon.
