Night ExpressOriginal Title

A thief is loose on the night express, and you're the guard. Chase him car by car across the roofs of a moving train: jump the gaps between the cars, duck under low brick bridges and signal gantries, and leap the coal he throws back and the luggage on the roofs. Corner him at the engine, or catch him the moment he stops, before the clock runs out. There are ten levels, each faster and tighter than the last, and if you make it to the end, dawn breaks over the line. A short game, made to be beaten.

It shows off what Amy Studio can do: smooth layered scrolling, with the hills, the forest and the trackside each moving at its own speed; bridges and gantries drawn into the background so the sprites stay free for the characters; compressed graphics; screen updates kept inside the vertical blank; and in-game music.

Controls: joystick and button.
