The Reverent Christopher Audrey's books are brought to life in this challenge for the 4-8 year-olds. although I suspect that the adults will be playing after the kids are in bed!

You need to race Thomas or one of his friends across four mainline routes on the island of Sodor, each almost mazelike in their overly confusing layouts. Rather than a straight charge, you've got to find the correct route through as quickly as possible.

There are two difficulty levels and a number of hazards to avoid, from wrecked lines to level crossings ... Can you take on the mighty challenge? I reckon so.

Graphically appealing with good playability, this is bound to be a firm favourite with the kids - and mum and dad...

★ INFO: By sometime in 1992, the final master makers were created for Thomas the Tank Engine 2, but some dispute still remained with Alternative over something relating to the game (which cannot now be recalled), and so none of the conversions would ever see the light of day.

L'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent  du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko.
