I've got a hankering to relive some of my youth. As I can't go underage drinking I thought A-train would be the next best thing.

Anyone know where I can get a copy? Can't find a download anywhere. Sad Sad

Any other retro game suggestions? (Already got sim farm Very Happy )

No idea where you'd find A-Train, Some other fun train games though:

Transport Tycoon https://www.openttd.org/en/
I prefer the original to the updates in open ttd. But then I only ever played the British Scenario.

Railroad Tycoon 3.
I played this for the first time a few months back, Still play it regularly. Wish this game had the same community behind it as TTD. The follow up - Sid Meier's Railroads! wasn't very god IMO.

There is a new A-train out, reviews are pretty poor though.

I liked Railroad Tycoon (2, never played 3), but not as much as Chris Sawyers Locomotion which is essentially an updated TTD. Have you tried that?

"The game places players in command of a railway company. There are no rival companies; the player controls the only one in the city and the game is resultingly fairly open-ended."

Sounds quite realistic, whatever you do as the railway company you'll always win. Razz
