YOUR TRAINZ HAVE COME IN - TO STORES NATIONWIDE!
Montreal, Quebec. February 12th, 2002- Strategy First and Auran announced
today that their new model railroad simulation, Trainz速 has shipped to
stores nationwide.
"Trainz is such a fantastic title! The gameplay is all in your head and the
content is all up to your imagination. " said Adam Phillips, Senior Product
Manager, Strategy First. "The editor is powerful and easy to use and the
possibilities with Gmax are endless. There's just enough time to master it
before Yardmaster is released later this year!"
TRAINZ速 takes railroad simulation to a new level by providing all the tools
and interactivity model railroad fans have dreamt of for years. Trainz速 is
a stunningly rendered model railroad simulator that offers users total
control as designer and driver. It allows users to control the operations of
their model railroad from the driver's view or trackside. The Auran Jet is
the power behind TRAINZ速, maximizing playability by recreating the pleasure
and charm of model railroads.
Players will be able to build their own stunningly realistic routes from a
variety of locations, from the busy US East Coast, the picturesque English
countryside to the endless plains of the Australian Outback - all using the
intuitive and powerful TRAINZ速 SURVEYOR editor. Players will also be able
to choose from the engineer's view and use 3D in-cab controls, or choose the
train spotter view and use the virtual "DC" controller. They can even
download a variety of fan-designed locomotives and trackside objects from
the web site.
Trainz also includes Discreet's gmax game pack allowing users to create and
import their own 3D content into the game and extend the capabilities of the
Trainz Surveyor even further. Trainz will be the first of its kind to ship
with gmax and promises to add extra value for any budding artist, modeler,
train or gaming fan.
TRAINZ速 will be distributed by Infogrames throughout North America, by Arxel
Tribe in Europe and by our other distribution partners in Asia.
