cleared when there are no more passengers to pick up, and the player then moves onto the next level which is a different layout, bigger or smaller with more dead ends. Also, the bonus stations appear more frequently and, on later levels, one or more Crazy Trains will be on screen at the outset. If the player creates a closed loop of track and rides on it for several seconds, a "Loop Sweeper" appears which moves around the loop behind it. If the Sweeper reaches the locomotive, the player loses a life. Sweepers can be crashed into each other or into Crazy Trains to destroy them with the same consequences as above. An extra life is awarded at 10,000 points. Scoring Bonus station points are randomly determined, with a beginning high of 2,470 points. Ports Loco-Motion was ported to Intellivision (published by Mattel) and the Tomy Tutor. Activision's Happy Trails, with strikingly similar gameplay, was released prior to the Intellivision port of Loco-Motion. Positive reviews of Happy Trails resulted in Mattel releasing Loco-Motion at a reduced price. An MSX port from Konami itself was published as Crazy Train. An M Network version for the Atari 2600 was canceled on July 5, 1983 for unknown reasons. Legacy Game Boy and Game Boy Color ports were released in Japan and the UK as part of the four volume Konami GB Collection. In Japan the game was released for Game Boy with Super Game Boy features, yet in the UK it was colorized and translated into English for the Game Boy Color. Confuzion (1985) for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 is similar in design to Loco-Motion. Junction (1990) for the Sega Genesis is similar in concept with isometric graphics. A Game Gear version was also published, retaining the original arcade game's top-down view. They were published by Micronet under license from Konami.
