The Viking Union has a very dominant role in your society, as they control
the vast railway networks. Could they be to blame for the disappearance of the sun
and the resultant ice age? As a train captain, you must find out and overthrow them.
Transarctica is a strategic trading and combat game, rather like Elite in many ways.
You must keep your train running, and make sure there is enough fuel. When you reach
towns you can trade with local people, with each city having a primary function.
These towns often contain useful information to put you on the right track in your
mission. You are in possession of slaves, who are traded just like other commodities.
Contact with other trains results in combat. Buy upgrades to boost your performance
in combat, to increase your chance of fending off the Viking Union. Overall, one of
the best Silmarils games ever made, despite cumbersome interface and extreme
scarcity of resources. |
