A-Train

Anyone remember this venerable old timer? More of a town planning simulator, but it all revolved around the rail network that you built.

cheers,

Hi

I have A-Train 6 for Playstion 2.

It not too bad but prefer Railroad Tycoon to A-Train.

I recently repurchased this wonderful game again after missing it for many years, from Ebay. I originaly had it for my trusty Spectrum 128+2a and loved it to bits, so when I saw it on Ebay for the PC I snapped it up quick, but unfortunatly I dont seem to be able to get it to work ( not an Xp compatible game ) so i will had to stick it on the shelf and just stare at it and remember the good old times. LOL

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who remembers the joys of A-Train... I used to play it on the Amiga. I'll have to check out the latest offerings in the railway sims for the pc, I'd like to think things have progressed (from about 6mhz, 512k ram and 20mb hard drive

Me too! I used to love A-Train. Remember when your town grew big enough for the Shinkansen?

Oh yes... trouble is, you had no control of it , it just appeared and the trains whizzed past. I remember the panic of rush hours

I remember playing A-Train on the Amiga. I enjoyed it so much that I got the port for the PSOne which was called "AIV Evolution Global". I also have A-Train6 for the PS2 but I agree with MrMallard, Raliroad Tycoon does it for me every time.

Before A-Train, I spent many a happy hour playing 'Transport Tycoon'. Trains, buses, ferries and aeroplanes! Loved it!
