I was looking for Sin City in a local second hand shop, but couldn't find it, and so plumped for Maxis' A-Train. (It was a snip at £4). I took A-Train home... and hated it. It was far too hard — you couldn't get into it. The fact I couldn't get sound or colour didn't help, either. ——————————————————————————————————————— Rjvjiw your favourite or most hated game of all time: 1/4 E-mail us: digitisjt@teletext.co.uk Letters to: DIGITJSER, PO BOX 297, LONDON SW6 1XT.

After only a few clicks I was creating my own choo-choo empire. The graphics were simple but beautiful, and the in-game music modjtn masterpieces. In Sin City, once your city was built, thjti warn't much else to do — not wish A-Train.
