Loco-Motion

Loco-Motion is a puzzle-style arcade game where a train rides on a grid of movable track pieces. The goal is to guide the train through the train stations located around the edge of the playfield.

The player can shift adjacent track pieces into an empty section to alter the train's path, and a tracing light shows the path the train is taking as it moves. An accelerator button increases the train's speed, while a panic button switches the piece of track the train is on with a random track piece on the grid.

A bonus timer ticks down during gameplay, showing how many points will be received if the train arrives at a station in a timely fashion. However, if the timer reaches zero, "Crazy Trains" and "Loop Sweepers" appear and race down the track in an attempt to crash into your train. Other obstacles include "Crazy Tracks" which can send your train in another direction, and exploding stations that occur occasionally.
