#SimuTrans is an #opensource #transportation #simulation, a '90s-style #game! It comes with different graphics paks, so it never gets old.

Download the #Linux binary file, and put it under a local folder (e.g. uncompress it under ~/Applications/). Then edit its /config/simuconf.tab to uncomment and change the option singleuser_install to 1. This will save all downloaded paks & save data on its own folder, instead of your home folder.
