Loco-Motion

Loco-Motion is a sliding block puzzle game where you rearrange track pieces to guide a train around the screen. Your goal: create a continuous path so the locomotive can reach passengers waiting at stations along the edges. You slide track segments using a joystick, shifting them into empty spaces to build your route. A speed button lets you control how fast the train moves once it's rolling. Hit a dead end or crash into the playfield border and you lose a life. The challenge comes from planning several moves ahead—tracks lock into place, so poor positioning can trap you. Each level adds more complexity as passenger locations change and obstacles appear. It's part spatial reasoning, part racing the clock.
