Train Tracking

Train Tracking was an MS-DOS/MS-Windows game by (now defunct) maker Demon Star, simulating the activity of trainspotting.

It closely resembles the Amiga game Sensible Train Spotting, something which has caused some controversy.

Game play

The player has an overall view of a station, with a list of engine numbers. The player must collect these numbers when the train is in the station, against a time limit.

Difficulty increases as the player progresses through the game, with an extra track being added on every bonus level. The volume of numbers also increases as gameplay progresses. Difficulty can be increased by altering the difficulty level before the game starts, which increases the number of similar train numbers and train number length.

Instead of lives, the player is given three bottles of Weak Lemon Drink, one of which is drunk when the player fails the level.
