About The Next Train: This will be a clone (more or less) of the good old DOS game called A-Train, developped by ArtDink and published by Maxis around 1991. I cannot get the old thing run in colors (black&white is OK with DOSBox), so I decided to try some game programming and re-do it. Mainly for my own pleasure, to learn about game programming, and to make this nice game again available for people interested in that game.

Features planned for version 1.0 are complete. There comes a readme with the install which has some infos about how the game works. Have fun!

Please report bugs, comments or any ideas for enhancement to the author.

Uploaded sources to build tntrain. You need to modify allegro 4.2.1 with the changes that are provided. Nothing spectacular, but it means you have to build allegro yourself. There's no makefile, since I'm using MSVC for this. If you send me a working makefile I'll be happy to add this to the archives.

About the developer: Studied mathematics, I'm now a software developer by profession (not game industry), and dedicated to City Building games. See also my website. Coding C++ since 1992, several years of background in global optimization problems.

Public Opinion
Overall Rating: 4.0
  • 4Although this game works well, it is extremely difficult and not very intuitive. I love simulation games and I had a small amount of fun, but the actual gameplay value should be labeled "annoying". You'll have to read the documentation to figure out this game. No music. A little polish could help.
