電車でGO! 旅情篇 Densha de GO! Ryojouhen Opening 1

This version focused on trams and light rail
Coverage Iyotetsu Matsuyama City Line, Enoden Line, Randen Arashiyama Main Line, Randen Kitano Line, Hakodate City Tram Line Route 5 and 2.
While apparently sharing much of the same basic graphics engine with Densha de GO Shinkansen, otherwise the user interface of this version was radically different, taking a significantly gentler approach.
Trams could be viewed externally and also in a cab view.
As the driver, you are responsible in this version for making station announcements and opening the door on the correct side.
As part of the overall gentler nature of this game, it is almost impossible to get a harsh game over message here as it was quite easy to do in early Densha de GO versions. Continues are plentiful and, while timetables exist, they can be stifled completely or simply looked at generally for much of the basic play. That said, unlocking some tram variants requires accurate completion of some scheduled routes.
There is significant extra multimedia content in the game.
Overall, there are many small details in this game that contributed to it being a surprise hit in the series. It is arguably the most simulation-like of all the Densha de GO series as well (though there may be an argument for Shinkansen too), and given the realities of the economics of something as specialized as a tram simulator, there is unlikely to be anything for the tram enthusiast like this for a significant time.
However, there continues to be speculation of a follow-up version to potentially include the popular Hakone-Tozan railway, the Tokyu Setagaya line, Toden Arakawa lines and/or Hiroshima Trams. As yet, however, nothing has come from this.
