Last Call BBS

Last Call BBS is an incredibly polished collection of puzzles from the Zachtronics team. There's 8 distinct applications presented through the fictional Powerlance OS. I can't overstate how much fun I had just using the fictional computer. The sound and visual design are very well done, and I've already found myself late at night booting up the game just to play the built-in solitaire on more than one occasion. The 8 games contained on the OS are all very polished and cleverly designed. There's 2 solitaire implementations (both with a slight twist to traditional rules), a model builder, a nonogram-inspired logic puzzle, an arcade game (though one that presents you will all the tools to approach it as a puzzle), and 3 programming puzzles similar to the other Zachtronics titles (with all bells, whistles, and histograms you'd expect). While each puzzle doesn't have quite as much content as a standalone Zachtronics game, they still have a shocking amount of content and what's there is ver...

Very cool little thing. Lots of stuff for nerds but that's okay.

It's good bang for buck. The food game seems basically just be a full Zachtronics style programming game and then on top of that you get 7 other games. Can't complain.

20th Century Food Court, included in this collection, may be my favorite of Zachtronics's programming games. It blends the spatial and programming puzzles perfectly, it's funny, and it canonically makes no sense.* Beating its final level was a feeling of exuberance unmatched by much else I've ever felt. X'BPGH then comes up short IMO, but it's shored up by ChipWizard and Dungeons and Diagrams. Two new solitaire games and a new version of HACK*MATCH (from EXAPUNKS) round out the set. No, I won't talk about Steed Force Hobby Studio. Anyway, you should get this game! Seriously, if you are going to buy anything from Zachtronics, this might be my highest recommendation, with the caveat that you might want to get it as your second rather than first game. *Like, okay, let's think about it. The game says it's "cracked by Ghast," who we know from EXAPUNKS as a resident of that cyberpunk dystopia. But EXAPUNKS is set... in an alternate version of the late 20th century. So even in-game it's a...

Excellent games in it, easy to understand, hard to master

11/10, reminds me of the good old days when there was only the games that came with windows 7 on the family computer.

so retro

Yes, I definitely recommend this game.

I have a single complaint; Dungeons & Diagrams maxes out at 9999 solved puzzles. Everything else about this is great.
