Play Locomotion (Byte Back) Online
A 1991 Amiga puzzle game where players build and switch tracks to guide multiple trains to destinations, avoiding collisions and obstacles. Features single-player and competitive modes.
Locomotion, also known as Byte Back in some regions, came out for the Amiga in 1991. It was developed by Chris Gray and published by MicroProse. The game arrived during a period when the Amiga was home to many thoughtful, strategy-heavy titles, and it fit right in with its methodical, track-building premise.
You control the flow of multiple trains across a grid-based map, placing and rotating track pieces to guide each one safely to its station. The main objective is to avoid collisions and derailments while managing limited track inventory and reacting to obstacles like signals and tunnels. Key mechanics include switching between train perspectives to monitor progress and strategically pausing the action to plan your next move. The pacing is deliberate, demanding careful forethought rather than quick reflexes, and the difficulty escalates steadily as layouts grow more complex. It feels like conducting a slow-motion ballet of locomotives where every piece matters.
