I just got these in the mail today. Both are for MS-DOS and Spell-A-Saurus is believed to be very rare. It was put out by First Byte and didn't seem to be too widely used--I know of only two other people who have even heard of it!

Now I get to dig my 486 back out of the closet, which I'll probably do once I finish my finals in a few weeks and enjoy a month of winter holiday.

I have A-Train on one of my Classics, and I have the box and manuals too. Always did find that one to be fun!

I've actually never played it--does it play at all like Sim City?

Got the boxed Mac version of A-Train here, along with Sim City 2000 and Pirates! That's all I have :)

I would kill to find a boxed copy of a-train (mac) - that's awesome

I thought the same thing when I saw the artwork on the box. I probably won't play around with it until finals week has come and gone.

Like SC2K (which it resembles from those pictures) it just may make a good foundation for a social studies lesson someday.

I'm hoping to find some ancient DOS laptop so I can use Spell-A-Saurus with the children I tutor who occasionally ask me to work on spelling words.

A-Train is almost nothing like SimCity, but it's kinda similar to Railroad Tycoon.

I have a boxed copy for Mac. I'll try to get a pic when I go back and get all my old Mac stuff.
