Trax (GB)

In Trax, players are immersed in a world of challenging logic puzzles where the primary objective is to construct a complete railway track to guide a train (or a similar object) from a starting point to an end destination. The game is designed on a grid, and you are provided with a variety of track pieces, each with different shapes and orientations.

Each level in Trax begins with an empty grid or a partially pre-filled one. Your task is to select and place the available track pieces onto the grid so that they connect seamlessly, forming an unbroken path. The pieces can be straight, curved, or junctions, and you'll need to rotate them to the correct orientation before placing them down. The intelligence of the game lies in your ability to anticipate and plan ahead, as each placement decision can impact your ability to complete the track later on.

Time is often a significant pressure factor in Trax. You must complete the track within a limited timeframe, which demands quick thinking and strategic planning. Some levels may feature obstacles or specific points you must pass through, adding to the complexity. Once the track is completed and the train successfully reaches its destination, you advance to the next level, presenting increasingly difficult puzzles and more intricate grid layouts.

Trax is not just a simple puzzle game but also a test of planning ability and quick reactions. With its straightforward interface and addictive gameplay, it's an excellent choice for those who enjoy brain teasers and wish to relax with a classic Game Boy title.
