CNET Editors' review
Designed to test your skills of logic, this free program falls short due to confusing gameplay, a lack of features, and a problematic design. As you might guess from its name, this game charges you with building a bridge over a lake so a train might pass over it. However, even after numerous trips to the help files, we couldn't figure out how to lay portions of the bridge. The task is made even tougher due to the fact that the main construction screen is all black with only a few tiny, white dots; you won't even see the actual terrain and water until you go into test mode. The absence of sound and features is disappointing, but since we were never able to successfully construct a bridge, this point is somewhat moot. Since the program is free, some users might be willing to take a chance on Bridge Builder, but we certainly can't endorse it.
Publisher's Description
From Chronic Logic:
This is a cool logic/strategy game. It's a very small program yet very addictive. You must build a brige with a certain budget and have a train cross it. If the train crosses in one piece, you win.

CNet's review of the game is completely off. The readme was easy to understand. THe commands are simplistic. The graphics are great, especially the easy stress anyalysis.
Cons
Everything can have better graphics, but better graphics would detract from this game.

If you have played Pontifex this is 5 steps back. It may have been the first run for this company for this series, but I surely hope they didn't charge anyone for it.
