Thomas the Tank Engine is an arcade and logic game, mainly for small children, which uses characters from locomotives known from books and films. The main protagonist of the struggle is of course Tomasz, the most famous and best recognizable piece of clothing in the history of children's literature.
The first stories for children about friendly and kind locomotives appeared in Great Britain in 1945. Their creator, the Reverend Wilbert Awdry wanted to entertain his son Christopher in this way. For more than 60 years of its existence, the Thomas series has become known all over the world, also in Poland, mainly due to an animated series broadcast on TV.

The game is divided into two chapters. The first of them - strictly arcade - allows you to perform seven missions, in which each time you have to get from one station to another, taking a wagon along the way. Tasks are not easy, because other trains run on rails. An additional difficulty are the numerous switches, as well as broken rails, which also cause a crash. In the final scenarios you have to be really lucky to avoid obstacles on the way to your destination.
The second stage - logical - is a popular game of finding two identical cards from among a dozen or so others. When we manage to guess the pair, it disappears from the table and we get a point. If a mistake occurs, the baton is taken over by the computer and the game continues. The winner is the one who first removes all cards from the table and scores more points. It is worth mentioning that you can invite a friend to a logical struggle, thus avoiding a constant skirmish with a computer opponent.
The game is characterized by a pleasant, colorful visual setting. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for sound, which is only supported by a PC Speaker. Although the Thomas the Tank Engine is a program for the younger generation of players, it can equally interest older players, especially the relatively difficult arcade missions.
