Founded in Tokyo in 1986, Artdink became a cult name for deep yet stylish simulation games. On DOS the studio won Western hearts with its rail-management triumphs. First came “Railroad Empire” (the English version of Take the A-Train II, 1989), where a sleepy region blossoms as your track network expands. Next is “A-Train” (1992), Maxis’s U.S. port of Take the A-Train III, adding richer city-building and isometric visuals. Rounding out the trio is “C.E.O.” (1995), a hybrid that marries transport planning with corporate finance. All three classics launch instantly in your browser on this page—no installs, no fees—so you can relive Artdink’s golden-age strategy gems for free on bestDOSgames.
