You play the part of a railroad builder. First, you have to lay tracks to the station and then drive the train through the stations.

The screen is divided into 24 blocks, one of which is empty, exactly like sliding block puzzles, popular some years back. Each block has a track on it and you have to move them so that the train, which is moving continuously, won't go into a dead end. It's no good simply keeping the train running as you have to collect all the passengers at the stations, located at the edge of the screen, to go on to the next screen. There are enemy trains which try to crash into you but, by manipulating the tracks, you can make them crash into each other.

The graphics are very nice and sounds very impressive. The game has some jolly tunes and the overall presentation is excellent. If you want a mind stimulating game which also has the addictive quality of a real time arcade game, buy this. It is great fun to play and is refreshingly different.
