many years ago I had a commodore 64 computer game and I had a train layout simulation program and you could create your own railroad layout design with full city's and town and then have the program run the trains on computer screen around the layout you just created and it was in full color! really was a neat train layout, even the switches could be thrown.

also had good sound effects  !

p.s. does anyone remember this program ran on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive!

Yep, had a commodore 64, then an Apple knockoff, then a Z80 PC, and finally a PC that could run Windows 2.0 I think.

As for 5 1/4", my Z80 that used them, then came the add on $400 10 meg hard drive, how in world could we possibly fill that space??

Back to topic.   I had a dispatcher game I think ran on Commodore.  It was fun to run trains, create meets, get as many through as possible.  Then improved when you could back up a train into siding.   Only wished the software could have been ported to 80xx windows platforms, but never did.  Too bad, I found the game challenging, and relaxing as I was playing against myself as such, no online networking (remember 300 baud dialups? (now I am showing my age.))
