About this game

As a celebration of their 15 year anniversary, Artdink re-released a few games as a 15th anniversary edition. This re-release of AIV was programmed to run on Windows 98 as well as previous versions, which hadn't been able to play this game prior.

Not released in Western countries, Take the A-Train IV is the fourth game in the Japanese-made A-Train series, directly following its most popular installment, known in the Western world as simply A-Train. The game plays very similarly to its predecessor, including the interface, the core gameplay system (managing a company, purchasing trains, building railways, influencing city growth, transporting goods, etc.), and characteristic features such as a day/night system, weather effects, season changes, etc., all of which influence the player's chances to earn money from his networks. A new feature is the possibility to build roads, acquire buses, and plan bus routes. The game offers four different scenarios: a medium-sized metropolitan area, an industrial area, a rural area, and a huge high-tech urban area. Each poses different challenges to the player.
