[Discussion] Train simulation games on mobiles/smartphones?

C2M Chap · 14th October 2011, 14:02

Hello everyone,

I was hoping you could help me find out about any train simulation games that are available on mobile phones (like older Nokia/Eriksson/Motorola etc) or on more recent smartphones (like iPhone/Android/Blackberry etc)?

Has anyone played any computer or phone simulation games? How are they?

Thanks very much!

To my knowledge, there is only one train sim for the mobile market which is called trainz. It's available for Ipad and android.

If you have a normal computer as well, I would reccomend the full version of Trainz.

It is simple and easy to use and is also quite realistic.

Aside from Trainz Ipad you're not likely to get much else.

Pilot Port - You are the new captain of the port in this dynamic, fast-paced game port traffic management. Your task is to guide and steer the boat to the docks accurately correct for them to unload their cargo (freight) safely. The adrenaline will be pumping as you organize and manage load boats with red and yellow and carefully steer in the busy port to unload. This fun and challenging game play is similar to the popular Madness Airport, but with a water theme that helps develop quick reaction and observation skills. Be accurate to plan shipping routes and the routes can become really busy. Do you have the skills needed for traffic management role as a driver busy traffic on this busy and bustling port. You should be alert at all times! Do not let the ships collide.

How to play: Use the mouse to click on a ship, then drag a path to the correct spring color (yellow / red) to download and drop its load. When the correct color goes down, drag a path to color next spring if necessary, depending on the ship's cargo. As each ship is fully discharged, it directly from the port safely on a path by dragging with the mouse. Watch not to plan routes that will make the ships to crash against each other and explode. This will end the game. Also, keep an eye on the new ships / vessels arriving in the harbor, and that could come along the same path of a planned route. If the port gets too busy, you can redirect the port without unloading ships to avoid an accident. This may be necessary at times. The boats are unloading and loading items more for delivery, the higher your score. The amount of cargo on each ship varies depending on vessel size (small, medium or large).

The Android Trainz only works from 2.3 Gingerbread upwards.
