[@alaricjaspers6348]

That last one brought back a lot of memories. I always played Molly despite Percy being my favorite at the time. Plug n Play had some hidden gems, man

[@thomasthebasedengine3368]

The Plug N Play ironically is the only Thomas game I have ever played, and to finally see someone recognize its greatness makes me so happy. My favorite minigame was the Brendam Docks cargo game, the music is arguably my favorite soundtrack out of the whole game. I remember seeing the green tickets and they always reminded me of those lime flavored popsicles. This was a fun video to watch as always, and hope you have a great day.

[@edd17sp74]

I’ve never heard of any of these, but they all look pretty cool. What really blows me away is that a game exists where you can play as Duck. I would have loved that as a kid.

[@furonguy42]

One more modern game I'm oddly fond of is "Magic Tracks" on the App Store. It first came out in the late T&F era and had characters and designs to match. When AEG came out, they updated the game with the new art style and a changed character roster, which I would say is a shame, but aside from Mark Moraghan's narration being replaced by AEG actors, it kind of works for the best in this case, as the previous version messed up a lot of wheel, piston and connecting rod configurations anyway, so a style that doesn't have _any_ connecting rods or pistons allows them to not make that mistake. Its a cute little game. You have mostly free reign to explore the island and complete minigames; the more you do, the more you unlock extra locations and minigames - and they have quite a wide range of locations, including the water wheel from the classic era intro sequence, and even some RWS locations like the Standing Stones, and Cranky has his own minigame like in Right on Time. Its far from perfect though; tender engines seem to lose their tenders in certain minigames for some reason, and the biggest issue is the microtransactions; to get all the characters and locations, I think its over £20.00GBP or your regional equivalent. As quaint as the game is, its not really worth quite that much.

[@theamazinggamer111]

Watching no commentary videos of old Thomas games when I was a kid. I was a weird one with my 3DS. I didn’t want Mario, I wanted…Hero of the Rails and Cars 2…what?- The Adventure Series is the most nostalgic to me. Alongside Trouble on the Tracks…

@@thesecondbestengine828 As overused as the word “peak” is, Cars 2 on Xbox 360 was peak.

Bertie Beats the Clock is the reason why I love the song surprises. Engines working together on VTech was my childhood. It's was also my first gaming experience before the DS too. Good times. Also: 6:35 Molly is playable in a game and I JUST FOUND OUT. And yes please talk about more games.

The plug n play Thomas controller was so cool to use when playing the game and doing the jobs.

[@Mr._Ty07]

There's this one game called "Thomas & Friends railway adventure" for the PC and it comes with this Plug n Play like accessory for your keyboard. I never actually played the game but I've watched videos of people playing it. I find the game quite nostalgic (even though I've never played it.)

[@jackstrains4449]

I remember playing a Thomas and Friends game for the Super Nintendo. I don't remember the exact name, but it was all sorts of mini games to play with Thomas. Unfortunately, sold the game a while back, but if I ever see it again, it might be worth picking up.

[@kipperflying]

I never played Thomas games as a child, I never really liked Thomas as a child, I just watched HiT era episodes. But I played some old Thomas browser games recently they're pretty good.

This video unlocked several core memories I've forgotten. The first and last games on the list are games I played for so fucking long. I used to have the plug and play Thomas but the batteries were so corroded that it was unfixable. Even if I wanted to keep it for novelty sake, I ended up throwing it away.

[@dr.darkcrow6784]

I remember getting that Plug n Play game for Christmas, and playing it until it broke. God, I haven't seen that game in forever. I wish there was a way to emulate it.

[@Ty_2006]

That first game you played brought back a lot of memories

[@skeletontoaster3811]

The Game Boy Color version was only in Japanese, and resembled Pokémon Gold & Sliver, but had cute bits like shunting Henry through a tunnel without getting rained on, falling off the viaduct upon losing or whistling on the map to find Bertie, Harold or the others. It might resemble an RPG to some, the objective is to complete 5 stories and a guidebook of all of the Season 1-3 characters.

[@wadeyhyena1657]

As a child, I owned a few Thomas titles. The first was an interactive computer that was filled to the brim with mini games (educational, might I add though.) I remember my favourite minigame was the one where you had to guide Spencer out of a maze and one that comes to mind as well is the tunnel minigame with Percy. Aside from that, I've played both the PC-ROM titles, Trouble on the Tracks and Thomas' Grand Adventure, as well as Hero of The Rails on Wii. :D Oh, and I've also played the mobile games too. (And... spent a decent portion of cash to unlock the engines.)

[@arisneta]

i used to dream of playing the genesis game back in 2009, i was a young child but i watched gameplay videos and fell in love with it

[@BronzeApostle]

I actually found my old Thomas Plug N' Play a few weeks ago. Had to replace the batteries and cleanse it of the dried battery acid (batteries had been left in there for over a decade, thing went unused for a very long time) And to be honest, I didn't think it was going to work. But it did! And in perfect condition too. Still surprised by it. I played it for a good 40 minutes, then turned it off. May get back on there and continue playing later on today, now that I've watched your video 🚂

[@LegoTFGuy]

Man, now I've got a strange desire for a 3D open-world Thomas game with quests, collectibles and easter eggs you find by switching onto hidden tracks.

[@ImmortalAbsol]

I had a CD Rom I loved like crazy as a (surprisingly) young child. It was the one at 0:30 not a recommendation because I've never gone back to look at it. Also, imagine if Right on Time had a modding community or a creepypasta riff.

[@ImNotnaloN]

I'd also LOVE to see review on PC Thomas Games, and not the Trash ones from the CGI Era, and Maybe even the WII HOTR Game.

[@EthanTheDinoNerd]

I think the best game for Thomas is a tycoon game where you build or rebuilding Sodor and being able to pick and buy which train to get and pick where and what they work at. Maybe add something where the trains complain about the area or how they want to do more then just carry stock.

[@Just_Another_Railfan]

I absolutely reccomend checking out the old CD ROM thomas games on the pc!! There were several I had as a kid that kept me busy for literal hours at a time! One I remember even came with this Thomas-shaped console you'd strap to your keyboard to make the game work! I know one was called "building the new line", another was about James's runaway, and then there was that Thomas-keyboard one I remember so fondly

[@2acidic4u]

Those plug and plays really bring me back, not the Thomas one specifically, I don't remember owning that, but I had the SpongeBob one and my sister had one for her too

[@ihatemegatron216]

The one game that I loved as a kid was calling all engines for the leapster. It was surprisingly good. Especially the model railroad mode.

[@benwetzel8449]

Ok, I have to request a lets play of Thomas and Friends: Railway Adventure. That was my favorite when I was little. It’s an open world Thomas game where you drive Thomas around the island and complete jobs.

[@LFPman]

There were 2 Thomas games that made up my childhood. While none of them were mentioned, one was the well-known Hero of the Rails’ game for the DS/ Wii and… a Japanese dubbed Thomas game where it had minigames of Percy running from the boulder, a Cranky claw machine game to get collectibles etc, 4 yr old me had a blast playing the latter despite the language barrier. Anyone knows what that game and the minigames within were, let me know

[@thomastheconjunctionfriend7908]

I remembered the V smile game when I was a little toddler!! And I also played the Adventure Series game from SEGA online!

[@TheBallWithTheShield]

Hm... I've probably seen these ones, but I also remember some other different Thomas games from about ten years ago, though I don't remember their names. One of them from a DVD (I think) that was tied with a collection of HIT-era episodes, and it looked like an early version of the CGI-era (which I found pretty funny since, as Thomas traveled during cutscenes, he'd move like he's sliding across the tracks with his wheels going slower than expected). One of the minigames that came with that was trying to send some troublesome trucks onto a siding by timing the switching of the points. It also had a pretty nice ending cutscene where most of the engines were celebrating something in Knapford Station. Another game that I remember was one that came with the DVD for "Hero of the Rails;" you basically had to race Thomas to be faster than Spencer, while making sure that his coal, water, and pressure were alright. It was also somewhat comical because both engines were basically stock photos of their CGI selves giving you the neutral smile the whole time, while the wheels were actually animated. Oh, and I think it just played a short version of Gordon's HIT-era theme every time it cut to them to see if one overtook the other or not.

[@Waltman13]

I used to play the Plug n Play one a lot as a child. Just going around sodor completing different tasks was super fun. Plus the soundtrack they composed for it is so fuckin good for a thomas game. They didn't have to go so hard with it but they did and I love it (Brendam Docks' theme has to be my favorite of the bunch). Honestly if possible, I would love to see someone remaster this soundtrack (or at least covers of the songs in style of the series' music), because it's super underrated tbh. I actually still have the console sitting in a drawer somewhere, and funnily enough it still works surprisingly. That's more that can be said than the other plug n play games I had growing up. There was also a Konami one I had that also works, and a Disney one that kinda works, but the picture shits the bed after like 2 minutes.

[@swiftengine]

Thomas console game concept: It’s an Island of Sodor simulation, probably even open world. There’d be two modes; learning and adventure. Learning mode would basically be like the CD ROM games from the 2000’s, but much better paced. Adventure mode would be open world. The Fat Controller would give you quests such as delivering specials, rescuing engines, shunting, etc. As you progress, you’d unlock locations like the mainland, china, Australia, India, etc. In those locations, you could explore the map and as you find landmarks parts of the location map would form. You can even upgrade your engine’s stats, like speed. You could even make your own engine. Side characters would ask for you to do something for them and after you complete their instructions they’d reward you with different engine decorations/trophies. Most of this is inspired by Sonic Fronteirs, a really good game that id recommend.

[@swiftengine]

Not to mention that you can also pick story modes, which follow the mainline Thomas movies like SLOTLT, Magic Railroad, Great Race, etc. Basically like Hero of the Rails Wii.

[@a_midland_engine]

Right on Time will always be one of my favorite thomas games as some of my friends gave it to me. Ive personally thought about remaking right on time with 3d models and such, but i know nothing about game development.

[@austinsimpson3458]

My childhood games were the PC CD-ROM games (which I still have) “Trouble on the Tracks” The Great Festival Adventure” and “Railway Adventures” which came with a peripheral that turned your keyboard into Thomas’s controls…. All great games but especially “Railway Adventures” for the open world

[@ANewEra05]

The SNES release of Adventure Series is actually pretty interesting as although it uses the same cover art and title as it’s SEGA Genesis counterpart, it’s gameplay/structure is entirely different. (to the point where it’s not even the same game.) (also i wish i knew how to jailbreak my 3DS.)

(this is going to get a bit long, so if you dont wanna read allat, just find someones comment) i remember that some of these games which i played when i was 5 - 7, these games were the Sega and NES variants of the adventure series, however because i didn't have a general understanding of how things worked, i usually screwed things up on them there was also the Hasbro and Stunt Puppy Entertainment games Hasbro -Trouble On The Tracks and of course, The Great Festival Adventure the Stunt Puppy Entertainment ones being -Building the New Line -Thomas Saves The Day the one i remember having the most fun, probably had to be Thomas Saves The Day, that chocolate making minigame had me hooked, although the Hasbro games were fun, you could mess around with them, and it wouldn't cost you anything. i.e. filling up Lorry 1 (i think) with coal and tools, with overfilling James' water tank
