Northgate Dispatch is a keyboard-driven train dispatch puzzle game set on a 1980s-style green-phosphor CRT control terminal. As the night-shift signal operator, the player reads the timetable, admits approaching trains onto platforms, holds late services, and releases them onto the main line before the next train reaches the junction. Routing errors trip the interlocking and must be cleared by filing an incident report that names the correct cause. The game spans six difficulty tiers of deterministic, seeded railyards, from a training branch line to a hidden graveyard shift, with letter grades, missions, 15 achievements, three terminal colour themes, and full controller support.
