This simulation game was originally released by ARTDINK in 1986. While many fans today associate the series with urban development—laying tracks and transporting passengers or cargo to grow a city—the first TAKE THE A-TRAIN offers a slightly different experience. Your primary mission is to lay tracks to safely guide the Presidential Train to the final goal. In this game, you are given a limited timeframe of one year. You must manage your railway company and earn sufficient funds while advancing the Presidential Train toward its destination. A single accident, running out of funds due to reckless management, or exceeding the 365-day limit will result in a Game Over. The gameplay leans toward a puzzle-like challenge, requiring both strategic thinking and careful resource management. As a title that still commands high recognition today, why not take this opportunity to experience the true origin of the franchise? *This application does not have a scene select mode. *The main game and gallery screen (*Gallery) are in Japanese version. *Other menu screens and "How to play" screens are in English.
