The island of Hokkaido serves as the backdrop for the sixteenth stride in the beloved Momotaro Dentetsu game. Summers in Hokkaido are something of a misnomer since temperatures generally don't go above 75° F but winters are aptly named because subfreezing temperatures dominate.To reflect the reality of Hokkaido, the storyline in Momotaro Dentetsu focuses on bitter cold. A powerful blast of freezing air hits Hokkaido and settles in for a long winter's nap. It's so cold that planes, trains, and automobiles are incapacitated and commerce is suspended. Such a condition can't last lest Hokkaido's economy suffer immeasurably. A world renowned geologist looks at the situation and comes up with a brilliant idea. Let's move the entire island of Hokkaido further to the south so that the island can thaw out...
Similar to previous Momotaro Dentetsu games, the protagonist takes control of a train and competes against adversaries to trek across Hokkaido. Along the way, gain capital, buy up properties, and create monopolies in order to build up a business empire. Eight new monsters join the bestiary to provide angst for budding entrepreneurs. «NCS G-Notes»
