About Artdink

Artdink opened with A-Train in 1985 building rail empires on PCs. Tail of the Sun followed in 1996 with a caveman eating to evolve. Aquanauts Holiday arrived in 1996 diving quiet reefs, and Carnage Heart in 1996 programming robot wars.

Triangle Strategy came in 2022 with Artdink co developing the HD2D tactics run. The games share systems over story but saves never carry. Release order shows the sim house stretching from rails to tactics with the same patience intact throughout. The sim manuals run thick while the reefs stay quiet and calm.

Good to know

Play A-Train first since the sim grammar returns everywhere. Tail and Aquanaut suit calm nights while Carnage wants program patience. Triangle closes as the tactics turn. No next game has a date yet, so the 2022 tactics entry stays last until one lands. The import love confirms the house, so give A-Train full attention.
