Nostalgic Train Flash Games

Flash games were part of my childhood as much as any other console or PC game was during that time. More specifically, flash games of the Mario, Sonic, and train-themed variety were often played by me. I've seen other KZbinrs talk about old Mario and Sonic flash games, so I figured why not talk about nostalgic train-themed flash games? In this video I take a look at a good selection of old train flash games dating back to the early 2000s. From Thomas & Friends to Unstoppable, there's quite the mixed bag of games to look at here!

Anyone remember a Trippy ass train game that was called something like "Trainwreck pinball"? It had animations for it, and other things. Basically the premise is a conductor is driving to the steam train, which is only in the engine, and the bridge gives out. So then it turns into some sort of platformer, and I'm pretty sure there was absolutely no pinball like elements for launch it, only bouncing around from different places. It has like 20 levels, 5 per area. When was this water type area by the bridge, and another was literally outer space, and you use black holes to help move around. You used your mouse as control for a bit of it. 3D animations, and honestly the lack of care put into what the conductor look like probably should have been nightmare fuel but me and my brother just laughed at at the whole time.

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

Nostalgia went full throttle here with these games. I'm a Y2K baby. (6/24/2000) and man this really took me back to the old days. I'd give anything to relive those moments namely with the old Thomas website, any of the 2 bridge games (Mini train & Build the Bridge) and Rails of war. I never officially got the full version unfortunately and I regret that now but Skies of War its sister game I both got the full version it in any way possible and was VERY addicting. Railroad Rampage too was another I played but didn't do much.

Ahh yes, Rail of war. Back when I was a kid I printed out screenshots of the game then cut out the trains, rails and enemies then arranged and them into epic battle scenes. I still like to write about armored battle trains even today. Not sure how a flash game has stuck around in my brain for so long but here we are :)

[@matthew_natividad]

I always tried drawing my own in elementary

[@PennCentral5700]

I remember on the old LEGO website there was a troubleshooting guide for their city trains, and silly 6 year old me thought it was some sort of game, so I’d spend good amounts of time “playing” the lego train troubleshooting guide on my mom’s laptop.

[@jacorp7476]

I remember Train Mania, it was a fun little game. I enjoyed it when I was bored during class in community college and just wanted to have some fun while I was waiting for the class to end since I'd finished the assignment.. Rails of War looks so cool! Might see about finding a way to play it

Damn, I completely forgot about the Thomas flash games. You somehow unlocked some memories of playing them on my (now potato) 2009 Windows 7 laptop. Most of the other ones like Train Mania and Train Traffic Controller I would play on some sketchy ass website when 7 year old me would type into the search bar “train games” and click on the first link that came up.

[@trainguy1792]

Man what a trip down memory lane! What a unique period in video games that's being forgotten about without these types of videos.

[@shep2004]

That Thomas and Friends game as well as the two train bridge games and the train mania game awoke memories within me that I wasn’t ready for. I don’t remember if the Thomas game was on the website or the DVD bonus features, either way, the nostalgia hit hard, especially with that build a Duncan game lol.

[@hamishmonk8656]

oh my god I just had a flashback with that memory match game, so many memories.

[@TankEngineFan5]

Oh gosh, when you were going over the old Thomas the tank engine flash games it hit me with a massive nostalgia wave. I remember when I was younger my dad’s office was on the main level in the living room and he had a big pc and monitor. My brother and I would play those Thomas games for hours until my dad needed it again. I loved the click n drag ones the best or the train racing one, those were the good old days. I also remember Choo Choons, trains mania and build a bridge, I played all three of them on a game website called friv back in elementary in 5th grade in the computer lab.

[@brianhenderson9124]

1:05: Sakuya fumo sighting! I also liked that *pichuun* after that one segment. Incidentally, one of Yukari Yakumo's spell cards involves a typical Japanese commuter train. Now as a child of the 90s, my main game, besides Civilization and Master of Orion, was Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon. Also tried the original A-Train and couldn't figure out how that one was supposed to work.

An excellent video that hit home with me, personally. This video actually uncovered a few of these old games that I actually remember, quite possibly, visiting back in the days of school computer labs. I grew up with these sorts of online-based Flash games (Rail of War, Unstoppable, and maybe a few other train games you haven't seen before) but I found them through a unique website that was solely based on train-related games and other things. If anyone can share this website, archive or active domain, I'd definitely look to see if those flash games are still executable using Supernova. On another note, I think you should take a look at some mobile games that are based around, or include in a large degree of, trains. Mobile games were what made up a good half of my past gaming profile, with my iPad 5 now being phased into obsolescence and unsupported for virtually everything this year, I would love to see some of the old apps I used to download showcased. If you wanted footage of some old apps I could simply record my device, externally (iOS 10 doesn't support screen recording), running some of the apps that are no longer available on the app store... Considering they'll still run, of course.
