  2.6GHz CPU (with multiple cores).

• System memory

  2GB System Memory (4GB preferred).

• Graphics processor

  A separate GPU and 2GB video memory (preferably unshared memory).

Player Requirements

• Minimum age restriction

  You must be 13 years or older to be eligable to play the game. If you are under the age of 18, then you will also need the legal consent from your parents. A higher age restriction may apply for certain parts of the game, for example levels that can still be too scary or violent for persons of minor age.

• Good health condition

  You must not be under medical treatment or get medical complaints from playing video games. The GeekTrains™ game contains fast moving visual elements and rapidly changing light environments which may include sudden flashes and sounds. If you for example get dizzy from such video game elements, then best not to play this game.

• Proper identification

  Before you can purchase stuff we may ask for additional verification and compliance. For example we may ask for a safe copy of your ID or a bank account / payment option verification. Parts of the game can be played without the need for making purchases, though.

• Good behaviour

  We want our players to experience the best when playing alone or with others. To keep our community of players safe, we have some rules on good behaviour. You must not appear in the list of blocked users. Sometimes users have been blocked because of for example faul language or caught cheating. Please abhere to the Terms & Conditions so you won't get blocked.

Financial Requirements

• Free* to play

  Most parts of the GeekTrains™ game can be played for free* (*as in no costs to us). Please note that if you are on a metered internet plan or the like, then your internet provider or cell carrier may still charge you costs.

• Optional purchases

  Other parts of the GeekTrains™ game offer one-time or repeated purchases such as new inventory, items, levels and limited time access. The price will be shown in advance before you finalize your payment. Please note that there will be no refunds for digital goods. If you want to disable the option to make in-game purchases or put a spending limit on it for your account, then please contact us.

• Voluntary Donations

  If you like our game, you can choose to give us a voluntary Donation. That will help us out to keep developing further on GeekTrains™. You can also contact us if you represent an institution and want to hand out a grant.

Installation

Instant Game (no installation required)

GeekTrains™ is a web browser game (sometimes referred to as Instant Game) and does not need installation. You can simply start playing GeekTrains™ immediately right from your browser (desktop, tablet or mobile).

Be sure to check the system requirements first though. GeekTrains™ uses 3D technology to show a virtual 3D railraod environment on your device's screen. Some temporary files will be stored in your browser cache (game assets like objects, sounds, images), and a large commit on your CPU/GPU may be needed (your device may become hotter and consume a lot of battery power while playing the game).

Get from App-stores

You can play GeekTrains™ for free* by browsing to the website www.GeekTrains.com. Additionally, you may find GeekTrains™ as an installable App within common App-stores such as:

• Amazon App Store

• Chrome Web Store

• Facebook Games On Facebook

• Google Play Games

• Microsoft Windows Store

These apps function the same as the online web version at www.GeekTrains.com, but with the option to have the game easily accessible by an App icon (shortcut) on your device. There is also the advantage that you may be able to speed up the account registration process, as you're probably already logged in with an account from the specific App store.

The installable App may have a price set. This price covers at the very least some costs we make to have the App listed in that specific store. Plus some compensation for the additional work for us to create and update that App for that store.
