other wagons, save the locomotives, are dead weight. Combat is won when the enemy is disarmed, the train is then looted for intact wagons and materials and the contents of destroyed wagons are written off. The game is lost if the Transarctica loses a vital wagon. All engagements can be expected to take several minutes. Reception Computer Gaming World in May 1994 criticized the train controls as both too simple and "intentionally annoying" and train combat as "painfully slow", and mentioned other "annoying, rough edges". The magazine concluded that the game's "blemishes derail an otherwise original and delightful premise". References External links A list of towns for the game. The Ice Company series.
