	Atrain Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

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....

Quite a good simulation then.

	Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

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.

Whats atrain about? A simcity type game where you build a rail line to Harlem, and get to hear jazz music as a reward?

Ahhh good memories... A-train was the second PC game I bought. It's a shame I can't play it anymore because my computer is too fast and the graphics get ****ed up as well.

BTW, I don't know if anyone knows about it, but there's a sequel of this game, called A4 Networks IIRC. It has some additional features (buses, subways, real life cities etc) and smoother graphics, but it lacks the charm of the original A-train.
