Description
The Viking Union has a very dominant role in your society, as they control the vast railway networks. Could they be to blame for the disappearance of the sun and the resultant ice age? As a train captain, you must find out and overthrow them.
Transarctica is a strategic trading and combat game, rather like
Elite in many ways. You must keep your train running, and make sure there is enough fuel. When you reach towns you can trade with local people, with each city having a primary function. These towns often contain useful information to put you on the right track in your mission. You are in possession of slaves, who are traded just like other commodities.
Contact with other trains results in combat. Buy upgrades to boost your performance in combat, to increase your chance of fending off the Viking Union.

Trivia
The cover art used for the game is actually a 1985 poster by fantasy-artist Rodney Matthews called "Heavy Metal Hero". Rodney Matthews has a website at http://www.rodneymatthews.com where this poster (and many others) can be seen.
