Transarctica

Transarctica (1993)

by Silmarils
Genres:Adventure, Strategy, Simulator
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:The story is based on a post-apocalyptic science fiction saga La Compagnie des Glaces (The Ice Company) written by Georges-Jean Arnaud and the comic strip Le Transperceneige (The Snowpiercer) by Jacques Lob. In the 21st century, mankind is being ravaged by the greenhouse effect. A last-ditch effort to counteract it is designed and executed. It works far too well. Centuries if not millennia later, the planet is entirely covered in a thick, opaque cloud layer. Giant wolf packs roam the frozen wastes, and the mammoth has re-emerged from the elephant stock. Mankind ekes out a living in a few handfuls of settlements, connected by a network of massive armored trains. The network in turn is in the hands of the gargantuan Viking Union, which is merciless towards threats to its power. A few radicals, though, are willing to attempt a change, and managing to hijack a train of the Union, the Transarctica, they set out in search of the "sun".Show more

I have played this game on my Amiga many years ago. The dystopian setup and gameplay always fascinated me. I have never finished this game and it would be nice to play it again

Un gameplay diversifié (commerce, batailles, enquête), une histoire intéressante. Ce jeu était prenant. Sans doute le dernier jeu important à être sorti sur mon Atari ST. Si vous aimez Snowpiercer et la Compagnie des glaces, c'est le jeu qu'il faut.
