I used to be ADDICTED to them. Does anyone know any for Linux? Like City, Roller Coaster, Zoo, etc.

The tycoon games are not very video intensive and should be able to run in virtualbox with xp or whatever.

Not really the same but you can run Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 well using Wine. Locomotion (another Chris Sawyer game similar to Transport Tycoon) also works perfectly in Wine. And yeah, there is OpenTTD. I'm also trying out Simutrans at the moment which is pretty addictive.

I played Spice Trader for a while, very intriguing.
