that looks cool op. puzzle games that are close to real work and simulation scratch a sperg itch well.

unrelated but for "games that are about computers", are there any that feature a fully fledged OS or a decent simulation of one in game? I can't imagine the general appeal of traversing a unix network for info or something, but I'm pretty ignorant of the indie market

This is a p-fun game with a novel concept. The mechanics aren't particularly deep, but it's pretty fun and challenging. Well worth the :10bux:

they should do what was done in that era and hire a couple of contractors to do ST, Amiga, and Mac versions based on their DOS codebase

uplink had a cool albeit really simple computer that you ran. the conceit is that you remote into a machine that you can upgrade, and do Hacking Missions

you could upgrade your computer with explosives and your room with security cams, so that if you hosed up badly enough and got raided you could blow it up and buy a new one, instead of being arrested by the feds


also congrats on making Computer Spacechem op i might buy it when it's on sale

i really liked how elegant that game's puzzles were... if it was possible to do something in that game, some cool trick or minimal way to solve a puzzle, that was probably required for some optional objective or secret or something. really missed that in the next puzzle game i played!
