Amiga Longplay - Transarctica

[@KOAP33]

I never played this game don't know how did I miss this GEM looks like a lot of fun......

[@cenkhanevcil1974]

Now i am 50 years old I NEVER FORGET This Amazing game

[@naviamiga]

Always loved the atmosphere in this game.

[@cnounours]

Merci pour cette longue vidéo de Transarctica, jeu sur lequel j'ai passé de nombreuses heures sans jamais réussir à le terminer. Thanks for the longplay of Transarctica, game wich I passed more hours than I should be. Greetings from France.

[@Doktor808]

je ne me souviens pas de ces musiques, mis à part l'intro et le générique de fin, dans la version cd. Les versions disquettes étaient meilleurs comme pour ishar trilogy.

[@MyEddie80]

Idem 😄

[@Bajamamut]

Played the hell out of it on its PC version when I was like 14-15 along with my dad! But the Amiga music is FAR superior! Thank you for this longplay! ^^

[@UeArtemis2]

It was a great game.

[@lov3masterns]

Probably one of my top 3 favorite games of all time (and I played over thousands of them of many genres) and probably one of very first ones that I played as a kid (I watched it being played when I was like 5 yo). One revolutionary classic that never got to be remastered unfortunately (like HD-ed and all that), forgotten jewel I would say. Damn. I would easily pay 50$ for this game if remake was made nowadays. So many memories, such a great story, atmosphere and mechanics.

[@FeelingShred]

I wish someone could explain what is going on in terms of gameplay and mechanics in moments of the video... it's not clear how the game is played by just watching the video, it looks nice though

[@mrxr2]

Great LP! One of my favourite games, and one I still play on my Amiga :)

[@azuredragonofnether5433]

Snowpiercer before we even had snowpiercer.

[@maxmirni2768]

I wish we never had snowpisser

[@deceiver444]

I was fascinated by this game's visuals back then

[@mkb7001]

Thanks for posting this, I've been looking for a LP

[@kamilbagi2831]

One of the best game of my childhood !!! Never forget.....More than 1 k playing in 1996 y

[@Tenraiden]

Reminds me of Frostpunk! This could definitely use a modern remake!

[@chrisdanger-godlike3048]

or a combination of both

[@graetestfanever1]

The train must survive...

[@chaomatic5328]

The ambiance is definitely here, but gameplay-wise it couldn't be more different XD

[@abitofBaileys]

It's not a remake but check out Last Train Home | Gameplay Trailer from THQ Nordic from this week

[@mk_games_official]

Masterpiece ❤ Love it. Ingame music is amazing.

[@alexandreturcotte6411]

I forgot about "La Compagnie des glaces", so the main thing who came to my mind was the Snowpiercer comic... French people really liked trains and ecological commentary in the 1980s, isn't it?

[@VincentSilverthorne]

The coal stoker on the right is me at work. The stoker on the left is my coworker 😂 Why am i the only one that has to work?! Lol

[@cupidstunt8136]

These days, we have a frontline manager, a workplace supervisor, a human resource manager, and a OHS inspector all in the same room

[@ADobbin1]

Its too bad no one has modernized this.

[@Coolytse]

Classic with impressive music

[@jarosawgorecki8620]

Rewelacyjna gra 😍miałem amige 600 grałem pamiętam 🥰👍

[@ivansukin721]

Great video, thank you! Amazing game, of course

[@pierrejourdain1748]

I played it on my Atari TT !!

[@nicolashrv]

If you didn't buy the original game with the manual, this game will be impossible to even start.......all Silmarils games except maybe Metal Mutant and Colorado suffer of this (Starblade another crazy game which was almost impossible to finish due to the complexity)

[@halthammerzeit]

Nah. Played well after some time, not even fluent english at a time.

[@nicolashrv]

@@halthammerzeit I don't mean you cannot play it. But you cannot progress if you don't know what the goal is. It is the same case as Starblade. I played it for days, visiting many planets, but never got any clue about what to do with the plot (turns out now we found out you had to find a secret planet in the middle of the galaxy).

[@Doktor808]

very good Classic, nice music cool graphics, like ishar trilogy

[@ljp1942]

Wonder if the film snowpiercer took inspiration from this game ?

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

It's a french company so probably the other way around. The comic was from the 80's

[@mattx5499]

It has similar concept, but probably both things are based on different sources. The game was really cool. Probably one of the most original strategy games of all time. The only flaw people were complaining about was tedious combat system. Train battle was quite slow. The graphics and artworks were fucking epic. Maybe updated version addressing the combat system would be freaking good. Such kind of retrofuturistic strategy games need to come back. There are too many fantasy and space themed games in the genre and not many ones with some postapocalyptic ideas.

[@ljp1942]

@mattx5499 Your right they should remake this game.

[@canicheenrage]

The film comes from "le transperceneige" ( the snowpiercer) a series of french comics...Heavily inspired by "La compagnie des glaces" ( the Ice Company) the longest single author SF series, from which that -french game is basically an adaptation.

[@spearPYN]

One of the best games ever!

[@MyEddie80]

Thanks you. I have the disks 3.5 with notice of this cool game.

[@cixxar]

I wish you would speak and tell us about the game and your decisions

[@yaninatalikelsh5940]

Hi! Do you still have save games for Transartica (PC)? My saves is corrupted near the final ((

[@nighttraplongplays9773]

Here are my save files from this longplay: we.tl/t-hLgRV2poS7

[@yaninatalikelsh5940]

@@nighttraplongplays9773 Thx a lot :)

[@yopachi]

Thank you so much for sharing without commentary! Watched my childhood friend play this on PC. Why did you only use the guy on the right to shovel coal? I like the concept and atmosphere. I like the realism. You had to be careful or your boiler would explode.

[@nighttraplongplays9773]

You have two types of coal, anthracite for your engine and lignite as money. With the left guy you would literally burn your money. You should only do this as a last resort if you run out of anthracite.

[@Dextrometotphan]

​@@nighttraplongplays9773 use "o" keyboard button to generate new messages about discovered mines, usually it happense 1 times per 3 days... m.b. its a bug in my version

[@danielperez-sz2ii]

nice game!

[@Tscharlieh]

A bit cumbersome, but a good idea.

[@klausklaus1123]

What if a developer works on the backstory of how the world in the ice came into being?

[@ernstschmidt4725]

the plot is from La Compagnie des glaces by Georges-Jean Arnaud. . . . . . . . . . basically they tried to fight global warming through some science but it went amazingly wrong.

[@SembeiNorimaki]

half of the video is loading coal since every time the time is stopped, to you almost load no coal. Sure you will save some, but you have to be loading every minute.

[@spearPYN]

Runaway Train...

[@MarcGameplays]

I knew about "Colorado" but not this game.

[@djcb4190]

Clue on rails.

[@MomoLZR.]

Looks like if someone based His series and comics from here.

[@jamesoffutt2801]

Could this really happen?

[@sanvicentino5887]

Ordos planet Just are in dune 2

[@georgeofhamilton]

Wow, this is a slow game.

[@MrTiti]

for lonesome men without having a woman

[@georgeofhamilton]

@@MrTiti I don’t think this game is meant for those people.

[@georgeofhamilton]

@u r Which parts are exciting?

[@MrTiti]

@@georgeofhamilton i played it as a kid and now. i cannot help, but it takes away so much time and there is nothing really coming out of the game for you. it is hard work, not enjoying. a bide of time through logic, instead of a short burst of real happinnes due to ideas

[@spearPYN]

Games back then like this were slower for the more intelligent amongst us. It is essentially similar to Civilization or Pirates. Early 90s games are still unsurpassed in quality. People had different mindsets back then and it reflected in art and computer games design.
