  • Atrain

    Until recently - 2 years ago, I had a working copy of Atrain...

    This game was developed by ArtDink in Japan, and distributed by Maxis in the 80's.

    I really enjoyed this game. My PC and backup were all lost... my bad...

    I am on the hunt for a copy of it that will operate on a current PC.

    Also looking for fellow enthusiasts...

        I loved Atrain - had it for years. Still have the original box and manuals for the game and it's expansion, but the original media is long dead - not that I have anything around that can read 5.25 inch floppies.

        I don't have it installed anymore, though.

          I know what you mean...

          It amazes me how many obscure games from that time are now available on CD....

          yet a game that sold so many is still lock away....

          ahh well.

          Thanks for the memories. I am glad you have good ones.

                Ah Atrain. So many hours frittered away on this on my Amiga.

                  I did have it for the Amiga, but I could never get into it, I tried so many things, copying it to another disk, copying it to the HDD, scanning for errors, just couldn't get past that intro part.

                  Ah well!

                    I so understand what you mean....

                    I have now got several versions of it.

                    Thanks for the leads...

                    Although it will not work with my mouse... hahahaha

                    Next week I will strip windows 98 off and load XP.... this is long over due...

                    so it is great to have it right there... but still not be able to play it....

                      I tried the game a long time ago, but I had no idea what was going on.

                        Quite a good simulation then.

                          Yeah, I reckon that it is a good sim.

                          The designers ArtDink had a deal with Maxis, on distribution....

                          In Japan ArtDink distributed Atrain and SimCity

                          For the rest of the World Maxis ditributed these products...

                          OK so I miss the game alot.

                          It is a long game, I had a PC that was mainly used to play it while I got on with other things....

                          I understand that a new version is available in France for the Playstation2

                          definitly not here in Australia.

                            Tried it a whhile back but it was a non-runner. If only I had the space I'd definitely set up an old 486 rig to run these classic games.

                              sounds like a great idea
