Train Tracking - New Review. :)

Miscellaneous Forums/Blitz Showcase/Train Tracking - New Review. :)

Got an email last week saying that Game Tunnel (Independant Games Review site) were ready to review my game. I'd been in a waiting list for a couple of months (busy guys!) and sent them off a review copy ASAP.

This morning I recieved an email advising me that the Train Tracking review on Game Tunnel had been completed. And it put a big ol' grin on my face, I can tell you. :D

Read it here.

Also, kudos to Fash_FD who did the tunes for the game:

Special props should go to the musicians at Future Developments who wrote the theme song for the game. It is very rare that I don’t immediately try to shut the default music but the theme song here adds just the right amount of levity.

In Zzap terms this would have been a Sizzler or even a Gold Medal! That is also a nice website by the way...

Two thumbs up Myke-P.

it put a big ol' grin on my face, I can tell you

Makes it worth all the effort you put in.
After reading the review I gave the demo a play.
It's very clever. A good concept. You need a quick thinking brain (processor) to catch all the numbers passing by. Especially the vertical ones on top of the trains.
Sadly I only have a 486 installed :-!

Two questions:

1) Is there a hidden bazooka so I can shoot the yapping dogs?
2) Does the full version come complete with notebook, pencil, and yellow anorak plus bobble hat?

This game is great fun!

Great review, and well deserved. Nice one.

With any luck this year's most underrated game will become known as this year's surprise hit...
