Thomas the tank engine 2

This commodore amiga game for children was Published by Alternative Software and developed by Peak Star Software. Programmed by Andy Slater and artwork by Mark Edwards.

I´m a really useful engine, said Thomas as he pulled into the sheds that morning.

Oh yes, puffed Gordon. But I bet you´re not as fast as me!.
The others overheard and laughed...

Please stop arguing, the fat controller butted in.
Everyone went quiet...
I know, continued the fat controller, we´ll soon find out who´s the fastest of you all!.

I will hold a racing competition and keep the times with my pocket watch.
Then we´ll know who´s best......

Everybody cheered loudly and began revving their engines in readiness for the races....
