Please use the installer instead of the zip and allow it to download and install the base graphics (and sound and music).

Otherwise reading the enclosed readme would have been helpful.

as to the read me for help
Before you run OpenTTD, you need to put the game's data files into a data/
directory which can be located in various places addressed in the following
section.

For OpenTTD you need to acquire some third party data files. For this you have
the choice of using the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe data files or a set
of free data files.

Do NOT copy files included with OpenTTD into "shared" directories (explained in
the following sections) as sooner or later you will run into graphical glitches
when using other versions of the game.
this doesn't really help either.

Is the attention span really _that_ short or the reading capability that under-developed and at the same time frequent phenomenon? You're also posting in the wrong game's section.

Read http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=57595 (you might then understand my reaction)
