How it feels

A careful, pressure-filled exercise in precision where every braking point and station stop demands your full attention or costs you dearly.

About

The player can choose from a variety of tracks and trains and will then have to drive the train to the designated stations while sticking to the tight schedule, stopping exactly at the marked positions, obeying all signs and signals, and ensuring passenger safety and comfort. Whenever the player makes a mistake, points are deducted from a counter which at the start of each round is initialized to a value depending on the selected difficulty. If it reaches zero, the game is over. This title features, among others, the Yamanote Line around Tokyo, and parts of the To-kaido- Main Line.
