  1. 👴 Ah, 1997, when hacker #nostalgia was as fresh as TRASH 📰 and your biggest enemy was a virus that wasn't self-inflicted from too much Mountain Dew. #Zachtronics wants you to believe you're the Neo of floppy disk land, but really you're just paying to relive old-school hacking fantasies from your mom's basement. 💾💻

  2. Not challenging anyone on any specific metric but I thought this was quite clean.

  3. New #review! It's UPALU MUNDI, a puzzle game that mixes #factorio's train system with #zachtronics-style optimizations and charts.

    And let me tell you, it's just as great as it sounds.

  4. There's a new (almost) #Zachtronics game out! It's "Kaizen: A Factory Story". It's the puzzle gameplay you know and love tied up in a great 1980s Japan setting. I had a blast with it!

  5. Sometimes if you're having a stressful time, what you really need is a pair of headphones, some Keygen Church and the solitaire from Last Call BBS.

  6. Returning to #spacechem something like 10 years after starting it, to try and finish this thing off once and for all. There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of watching a finished solution at work in a #zachtronics game :)

  7. #AbiDos is very nice-looking programming puzzle game, akin to #Zachtronics games.

    Due to low sales, the dev decided to make it free. Give it a shot if you're curious, the first levels are quite satisfying.

  8. In the can't-recommend-it-enough department, a video all about the magic of playing cards, their games & solitaires, and programs that evoke them - it touches on their origins, their designs, their je ne sais quoi, and even why digital games like #Balatro and the #Zachtronics Solitaire Collection scratch that same itch. Plus, it's got @Hempuli in it!

  9. Everybody who's kinda creative has these ideas that they can't shake, right? That live with them for years and years and years?

    One of this for me is that I'd really love to make a #Zachtronics style game about programming traffic lights. 1980s, assembly styled - and as you get further, you start programming entire roads with multiple networked intersections.

  10. Last Call BBS: Puzzle Games for the Retro-Inclined

    The last game from the makers of TIS-100, SpaceChem, Exapunks and many other puzzle games feels like a Greatest Hits collection.
