GameplayA commendable attempt to create a 3D railway simulator on the Spectrum. The construction part even works conditionally — you can really build the railway of your dreams and admire it. However, without trains this idea makes little sense: the author honestly admits he simply didn’t have time to finish the game. Well, we’ll be waiting for the final release!

GraphicsNight Train Deluxe has a real 3D engine, and that’s already great. True, it’s not very fast, so patience is needed. But there’s also a 3D model editor, which is a rare treat.

SoundIt’s simply absent from the game, which is a bit of a shame. A simple relaxing tune would set the mood, and some basic action sounds would have been welcome.

GameplayGood choice of 3 languages. Nice to have a 'guide' to try and tell you how to play the game but it was all a bit complicated for me. Sorry to say I gave up trying to play the game

GameplayA lot of work has gone into this project, but it feels more like an application or a simulator than a game. I enjoyed it a little more when I set the emulator to 4x speed.
