Time Tunnel[a] is a 1982 maze video game developed and published by Taito for arcades.[1] Hamster Corporation released the game as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in 2019.[2]

Gameplay

The player controls a train who must transport passengers to a space station through a series of railways.[3] The player can control select intersections for the train to pass through, while avoiding obstacles such as a Shinkansen and alien creatures. The train stops when it is out of fuel, which can be refilled by arriving at a pit stop on time. Passengers can be collected at various train stations on Earth and dropped off at space stations at the second half of the level.[4]
