A-Train 8 (PC)

This is the latest in the highly rated A-Train series, which has an excellent sales track record in Japan where the game originates.

As the manager of a railway company, elected mayor of your city, you have to create the best public transport possible, manage the network and adapt fares to successfully improve your city though the year, taking into account the different seasons and the effect they could have on the system you create. Enjoy the level of detail in this simulation game and the sophisticated graphical interface as you watch your city come to life.

In A-Train your city develops around its train stations so players first build the station that will serve as the centre of the citys growth, then a network of roads to the station and the actual railway tracks. With this level of detail everything from the elevation of the land to the expenditure must be gauged.

A-Train goes deeper than any other game of its type. Subtle ways of encouraging growth around stations, making use of rich agricultural expanses can also be mapped and taken into consideration. Building, growth, and future prosperity requires resources and so constructing commercial, as well as residential, buildings is key to a great balance and untold prospects. Freight and containment buildings, houses, factories and roads are all part of a bigger plan for an evolving community and an increasing bank balance. Stop and things will stagnate, be bold and speculate and become rich beyond your wildest dreams. Build subsidiaries, buy stocks and shares, increase your funds by managing companies move onto bigger real estate and new uncharted areas!
