Artdink Studio and Degica have announced that A-Train PC Classic is heading to the PC via Steam.
The A-Train franchise has long been associated with deep and rewarding gameplay and for its 30th anniversary we are happy to bring you a game that takes you back to the source. A-Train PC Classic is a new game for the PC which takes the franchise to new areas.
With the scale and scope of a modern transport and city simulator and the retro aesthetics of the classic games of the past, A-Train Classic offers a new landscape for gamers to create their worlds. Created with a light touch and requiring modest system specification, A-Train Classic is designed to be accessible and flexible.
For those that saw the trailer (above) and got some serious Sim City 200 vibes from it, you are right. The original A-Train served as the inspiration for the style of Sim City 2000 and was so important to Maxis that the studio even published the game outside of Japan.
Key Game Features:
- Become chief executive officer for a leading transportation company to build and develop a transport network to support to support the growth of the surrounding towns and cities.
- A deep and rewarding simulation that is made accessible through a step by step tutorial system. Your assistants will help you every step of the way, explaining game concepts and reminding you of your scenario goals.
- A living world. Scenarios introduce competitors who will attempt to build their own networks and develop your resources adding a new challenge to the A-Train franchise.
- Multiple resources. Ore, Coal, Fish and other natural resources need transportation on your freight network as well as the raw materials your towns and cities need to grow. Concentrate on one or diversify and control them all.
