Gameplay

There are six difficulties, known as job rosters. Each difficulty has 11 jobs. A 12th job is unlocked after completing the previous 11. Most jobs involve the basic concept of picking up and delivering loads via different freight and passenger cars. Other jobs involve moving numbered freight cars to make valid addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division equations at kindergarten through 5th grade difficulty levels. There are memory-matching, pick-up sticks, hangman, Tower of Hanoi, and anagram scramble jobs with set time limits. The game has seven different play environments including a desert, the arctic, a living room, and the moon.

Critical reception

3D Ultra Lionel Traintown Deluxe won the 2000 Family Game of the Year award from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences.

gollark: Upgrading some of the solar swarm with better comms and computers would allow so very much research.
gollark: We already have a mining swarm on some moon or other.
gollark: ... not in that form.
gollark: In the Eldraeverse, yes.
gollark: Also, any new computing systems would fit well in the power beaming solar swarm of doom, where there's lots of power and presumably decent networking and cooling.
