True, but as a game, it's a bit too open-ended for my taste.

#4It's actually pretty good! Trapped me for couple hours solving some non trivial puzzles!

#5For the record, the game is 50% off here (and 10% goes to a charity of your choice): https://www.humblebundle.com/store/tis100

Limited resources and means, you know, promote creativity. Programming a modern standard computer nowadays is quite available to average Joe and Jane. That's why we have tons of crapware. But, forcing them to program a less common, sophisticated, complicated or limited architecture forces them to adapt and into being more creative. This serious game is quite a good example, and, I suppose that was also the intention behind it.

You know that multiple games can go in different directions with one concept, right?
Sometimes you just want to write asm for an architecture that's far to bizzare to possibly be real. Is that so wrong?

#8Probably my favorite Zachtronics game. Although I haven't had a chance to play IF or SIO yet.

I prefer actual old hardware for that (60-70-80s), that way the results really give some strange satisfaction. Personal ofcourse.
