I know I said I wouldn't be doing any more puzzle games, but I got bogged down in my main project and needed a bit of a break. So here is a computer version of the pen and paper puzzle Train Tracks. The object of the game is to find a train track that connects two points in a rectangular grid whilst satisfying certain rules. Instructions are provided along with NTSC and PAL versions of the game in the attached zip archive.
As usual, the game has been developed using VICE so I would appreciate any feedback from people lucky enough to have the real hardware.

This was entirely new for me. I have never encountered the pen-and-paper version and found even the "easy level" very tricky. Then I realized that I interpreted the corners the wrong way Pretty sloppy of me as the title screen makes it perfectly clear how to read the graphics.
It still not easy, but a very satisfying challenge! Nice touch with the train-arriving graphics too. All in all a very classy puzzle game - thank you
