SDL2 ports for MorphOS

Here are some of the SDL2 games that you can download to MorphOS. There are much more but here are two that I have tested that works nicely.

OpenTTD SDL2 port for MorphOS

So, where can you find SDL2 programs for MorphOS?

On MorphOS, the most recent game port of OpenTTD you can find on MorphOS-Storage here is using SDL2. You can either play it in a window or in fullscreen. You can join servers or just play it for yourself.

OpenTTD is based on the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe game that was released way back. In OpenTTD the game adds NewGRFs which are assets that the community can make. You can either download them from the web or from within the game itself. The MorphOS version also supports this function. Also, there are several enhancements to the game giving it TRAMS.
