NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
The
A Ressha de Gyoukou city/train management
sims and sequels have been published on all major
consoles and the PC since the first game debuted on
the Famicom in 1991. Maxis, the creators of Sim
City, brought the game over to the US and dubbed it
A-Train. In A Ressha de Gyoukou,
omnipresent players construct a city and lay the
track for a train system to ferry passengers and
cargo alike. By building the city and serving the
needs of the booming population, profits are reaped
and plowed back into the city to earn even more
profit. After a while, the fledgling city becomes a
major metropolis thanks to thoughtful planning,
resource management, and innate ability to address
the needs of the masses.
For the PSP version of A Ressha, developer Artdink
does away with the city building aspects of
development and focuses solely on the construction
of a railroad. To add color to the faceless empire
building, a cast of characters serves up an engaging
back story. Poppy passes away and leaves a train
company in the lurch. With no one else able to take
the helm, the player (that's you) steps up and takes
control with the aim of achieving father's dream of
building an intercontinental railroad. With support
from railroad engineer Carl Buflovsky and secretary
Lisa McLaglen, you might just make it in the train
business. A banker named Patrick Lietzmann plays a
third major role in the game.
To balance the
growth and profitability of the railroad, players
decide the proportion of cargo or passengers carried
on the trains. Cargo and materials are used to
expand the railroad but passengers pay the bills. By
maintaining a "just right" balance, the company can
remain profitable while expanding at a healthy clip
without falling into the red and facing potential
bankruptcy.
