Play Densha de Go! 2 Online
You grip the controls as your train barrels toward the station, feathering the brakes just enough to stop exactly on the mark—passengers grumble if you jerk them around. It’s oddly tense for a game about sticking to a schedule.
I picked up Densha de Go! 2 for the Game Boy Color back in 2000, a time when handheld games were all about quick, focused fun. It was developed by Taito, known for arcade hits, and it brought their train simulator series to the pocket in a surprisingly complete way. The game felt right at home on the GBC, offering a niche but satisfying experience amid a sea of platformers and RPGs.
You take control of a train driver, managing acceleration and braking to stick to a strict timetable. Your main goal is simple: arrive at each station on time while keeping passengers comfortable. Key mechanics include watching your speedometer, hitting precise stopping points at platforms, and managing the train's bell and announcements. The pacing is methodical, almost meditative, but the difficulty spikes when weather changes or schedules tighten. It feels strangely rewarding to nail a perfect run after several attempts.
