    A-Ressha de Ikou

    Game » consists of 4 releases. Released December 1985

    A train/railroad management simulation, released by Artdink in 1985. It was a landmark management simulation title, influencing a number of later games in the genre. Not to be confused with A-Train, which was the third game in the series and first released in 1990.

    Short summary describing this game.

    Overview

    The first game in the A-Ressha de Ikou ("Let's Take the A-Train") series, which would eventually become known overseas as A-Train. The goal of the game is to build a prosperous railroad company. Unlike the second (Railroad Empire) and third (A-Train) games in the series, the original A-Ressha de Ikou never saw an international release.

    Some of the games influenced by later entries in this series include the SimCity series (and in turn the wider Sim/Sims franchise) and the Railroad Tycoon series (and in turn, the wider Sid Meier franchise).

    A-Ressha de Ikou may not have been the first railroad simulation, however, as it was anticipated by the relatively obscure Squaresoft game Amtrack, which released just months before it.
