Vlak

Game review

The game is most like the classic "snake". In this case, it means that you have a train you have to guide. With the help of the cursor keys you move around the board (the entire playing area is large 18x10 squares, which is enclosed by a wall, which is also variously distributed over the surface) and collect objects, which are then converted into the wagons attached to your locomotive. Your task is simple, you have to collect all the items and then pass the gate. However, you must pay attention to where you are driving, because you may bump into walls or into your own carriage, in which case, you have to start the level from the beginning. The game has a total of 50 levels that are waiting for you.

Vlak (in english Train) is one of czech very famous game. It's a logic arcade where you try to load different objects with the train on one screen. Each item collected creates one wagon behind your machine. The first levels are simple, but as time goes by, our line of wagons becomes longer and longer, and in addition, the path often offers only one solution.

For example, in some levels it is necessary to load the cars first so as not to collide with our wagons. The goal of the game is to collect everything and then enter the gate (next round), which opens with the last object collected. The game has a total of fifty levels. Each of them is different, there are different walls and with each progress in the game we are shown various new items that we can load (gems, gold, animals, electrical engineering, etc.). In addition, after successfully completing one round, a password will appear on the screen (something like a save). If we press F4 in the game, we can return the next day to the level in which we ended by writing that password.

I would include the game Vlak in the category cult game. Especially in the Czech republic and Slovakia, the game was played everywhere and everyday (especially in schools). The graphics of the game are simple, pleasant and thus allow us to play the game even today, without any grimace on our faces.
