This is an excellent information-rich adventure game in Chinese. This "comedy"-type game uses a scoring pattern, each operation has a certain amount of points. It's the protagonist of the story's goal to find foster parents, the gold Cross and experience an adventure. The most important tool is a knife and a magnifying glass. The knife can help a lot, and with the magnifying glass you can see the small print of the painting on the wall (with most of the comedy content). So regardless of where you start, these two things are the first you need to find. Funny things come out of his mouth, although not normal and it does not make sense, it can also be quite crazy. The game style is much like the Legend of Kyrandia series, you can use the mouse to control the leading actor in the scene with "pseudo 3D" way of acting, often with some strange things to get to be used by players which have a rich imagination. This continues the story of where "Eclipse" ends: the brave hero Alex gets rid of the evil magic, the world does not return to calm. Descendants of Rolls-Royce and Sha Shi continue the battle which has lasted for generations of ancestors. Due to the progress of time, Ehrlich family's rivalry with Sha's family developed from the classic battle of good and evil into clan blood feuds. Two families whose forces are shrinking caused by long years of confrontation. It was release in Chinese, Korean and English versions, however due to insufficient funds, they were unable to penetrate global markets and failed to address regional difference. Despite the failure in market strategy, ‘Golden Train’ was considered a classic game by many players. It won the title of ‘Best Indigenous Game in Adventure Category’ by Style Game Magazine in 1996 as well as ‘Best Game Star in Adventure Category’ by Taipei Computer Association in 1998. The developer later became Gamania which made the popular MMO Maple Story. | ||
