This review is for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version

I haven't played this in over 20 years but I'm still holding a grudge. I thought it would be some kind of 16-bit rail simulator but it was mostly boring pre-school level mini games. Even the couple of mini games that were anywhere close to what I imagined Thomas would be like on the snes were too short and simple. Thankfully the game was only a video store rental and I gladly returned it. Tbf I was slightly above the intended audience when I played the game. My love for physical model train sets kept me watching the show almost into my pre-teens, until they started transitioning to computer animation (I heard recently it's become 2D 🤮).
