Train Simulator series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Train Simulator (トレインシミュレータ) is a Japanese train simulation game series produced by Ongakukan. The game is significant as it is was one of the earliest available, first being published in 1995. No versions are officially available outside of Japan. All of the games released are only available in Japanese.

Each game contains train routes and trains that are located around Japan and two overseas (France and Germany). Video shot from the cab of the train synchronised with the computer is used as a basis for simulation. Ongakukan have endeavoured to produce true to life simulation with much technical detail, and since 2005, Ongakukan has started producing simulators for driver training.
