| Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | | Free, open-source train sim with many Japanese routes (including JR East) | | Densha de Go! (old versions) | Some PC classics are now abandonware, though legality varies | | Train Sim World (demo) | Free demo available on Steam | Recommendation If you specifically want JR EAST Train Simulator, buy it on Steam when on sale. For a free experience, OpenBVE is excellent and has a large community creating JR East route content legally.
Would you like a guide to setting up with Japanese routes instead?
