Welcome to our new Windows 8 page!

This will be a page show casing the work Train2Game has done with Windows 8 so all of those without a Windows 8 operating system can see.

Above you can see a number of apps that have been made by Train2Game students that have been released on the Windows 8 app store. The games were made as part of a world record winning Game Jam in September 2012. The event was hosted by Train2Game and sponsored by Microsoft.
