A Gaming Diary
Railroad Madness (iPhone)
Just downloaded this as it’s free today. Just today. If you’re reading this a day or more after I post this entry, you’ll have missed out.
Should you care?
Well, I’m not sure. I’ve not played it much – only three or four games. Seems like a fun, fast-paced little puzzle game, but it takes too long to get going and the control scheme, though as simple as possible and completely logical, can be very annoying. Oh, and sometimes the trains are so short that the smoke from the chimney obscures its colour, making it very hard to tell if it’s a cargo train (which has to be directed to the stations on the left) or a passenger train (which needs to go to the right).
Which sounds like a lot of complaining, but it’s still pretty fun, I think. If you’re reading this when it’s still free, go grab it, if it’s back up to 59p, well, it might be worth a go, but it’s too early to tell. Watch this space.

I got the game for free, that I am thankful for. Would I pay the $.99 for it, maybe. It is a good game, but so many blogs say it is challenging. I guess in the first hour it was. I was getting only 40 trains to their correct places. Then I saw it- -setting the arrows to direct to one arrow and changing that arrow (and one other to prevent rear-ending) wow it is easy now- -I first scored 200, then just over 300, then to my current top score- -673. Now I only crash because of a phone call or an SMS. So I need challengers- -Who will step up and challenge the "Thai Master Engineer"?
