Quote: Guru dumped another of the remaining Namco System 12 hardware games, Attack Pla-Rail by Tomy and Namco. Essentially it’s a kiddie version of train simulator games like Taito’s Densha De Go! series wherein you “pilot” a model train over plastic tracks (Pla-Rail = Plastic Rail?). Your main control is a simple speed lever; you must slow down on curves or the train will derail but otherwise you want to go as quickly as you can.
Tomy Plarail is a popular model train system for young children produced and marketed by Tomy in Japan since 1959. It uses plastic rails and battery-operated locos since 1961. The name comes from the English "Play Rail".
