The goals of each puzzle typically consist of one or more objectives including picking up items, transporting and delivering items, and repairing the tracks when and where needed. While the game is intuitive enough to play without the aid of these tutorials, you should play them anyway so you don’t miss anything or for no other reason than to at least get a blue ribbon next to them on the checklist. Amongst these puzzles are also six excellent tutorials that will really show you the ins and outs of how to play this game.
The puzzles are separated into categories so you’ll know what difficulty you’re up against when selecting one. There are a total of seventy-two "missions" or puzzles for you to complete ranging from very easy to very difficult with everything in-between. These jobs contain a variety of chores from simple deliveries to clearing avalanches off the tracks before a passenger train hits it - so get your gloves on and grab your striped cap, it’s time to go to TrainTown.
The primary objective of the game is to complete jobs on various sets of tracks in locations such as the living room, the back yard, the North Pole, the park, and construction sites. It's not quite as impressive as some of my other first-time modding ventures, but there's some fun to be had here if this channels your nostalgia like it channelled mine.ALL ABOARD! Sierra Attraction’s 3D Ultra Lionel TrainTown is a game that is designed for anyone but will mostly appeal to those interested in trains and/or puzzles. In the end, the sum-up was six themed levels, a modified exe icon, and the one animated graphic whose encoding wasn't so archaic I had tools that could open it. Exploring further, I found a script by Shiny Quagsire which was able to extract the game's archives, but I wasn't able to do much once Iridium77 helped me get the script working so, unfortunately, that was a no go (but thanks to the pair of them for helping out anyway). Initially, the answer was "not much" - but thanks to the godsend that is 90s game design, Train Town's level editor meant a mod was going to happen.
So, as I do when cracking open the games of my childhood, I started with exploring how much modding could be done here, encouraged by Kalimando, a friend who also enjoyed the game as a kid. Playing it on and off in my infant years, I eventually lost touch with it and didn't think about the game until recently, when watching a certain climate-disaster series on Netflix reminded me there was this one train game I played decades ago. Though I just about wasn't born yet when Train Town released in 1999, I still caught it as a very, very little kid, at an age where this was one of the first games I actually remember playing. 1001 Traintowns Long - A Legally Distinct Love Letter
