A-Train: All Aboard Tourism is a business simulation game
in which you use the railroad to help towns develop.
In the world of A-Train,
people gather around stations, gradually developing the surrounding town.
As president of your very own railroad company,
you are free to build stations and lay train lines as you see fit.
What kind of railroad will you create? How will you develop the town?
All these choices and more are yours to make.
However, as company president,
your job is about more than just developing the transportation network.
It's important that you decorate your town by establishing subsidiaries
and advertise your company to increase your brand power.
The bigger your company grows,
the more freedom you will have to develop the town,
bringing it ever closer to your ideal.

In each town, you will find a variety of tourist attractions,
from idyllic hot spring districts to ancient historical castles.
There are many tourists who would love to visit these locations at least once.
However, whether these locations ever reach their full potential
depends entirely on your skill.
If a destination is difficult to reach, it will receive few visitors,
regardless of how stunning its sights may be.
Use the railroad, bus lines, and even ferries to envision and enable enjoyable holidays.
Your success will surely be reflected in the number of tourists flocking to your town.

Juukou B-Fighter (literally Heavy Armor B-Fighter ) aired on TV Asahi from March 5, 1995, to February 25, 1996. It was the 14th entry in Toei’s Metal Hero Series , a franchise known for blending gritty sci-fi with superhero tropes. The has effectively rescued this show from obscurity
