Pulp Training is a strange game that after playing it three times there's not much left to do.

The artistical score got a 3 because it has nice looking graphics, but no railway. plus driving a train like a car is just weird.

There's some things in the game that don't work, and the ASCII art and help menu won't help here. So the technical score got a 2.

In this game you go around town doing jobs for people. It's fun to play all the way though just to see what happens next, and the ending just made me want to play it again, but after the second time it gets old.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 3 Technical 2 Genre 2

Railroad Merchant is an interesting game that with a bit of work could be a very nice game.

In this game you go around trading items to get enough money to progress to the next planet. There are different ways of doing this. One way could be just traveling around collecting inexpensive items to sell. the other way is buying items cheep from one shop and selling them to another to gain profit.

I gave 4/5 for the artistical score, because it really dose have nice graphics. Some things that made the artistical score have a 4 instead of 5 is the character you control doesn't look that great and I don't see how the trains are important.

I gave 5/5 for the technical score. There are some neat technical stuff. Railroad Merchant generates plaints by what name you give it. It has many different looking plaints. cool help menus that are necessary for the game. and some other nice looking stuff, including a ASCII generator. It only has one problem, gravity, but you get used to it.

I gave 1/5 for the genre score. I can't see how waiting for the trains is important especially when you have so many items to trade between shops.

Overall this is a deceit game if you like merchant type games, but it could use a tiny bit of work. Music/SFX/story could be some of them.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 4 Technical 5 Genre 1
