This game rocks. 5 stars. 10/10. It's on steam for $7.00, but it's well worth the price of admission. Word of warning: This game does not hold your hand. It's tutorial is a 14 page tech manual from the 80's. The puzzles resemble Jahooma's logic box, although the solutions involve assembly language programming. It is a ton of fun.

It's a niche game that I figure the DROD community would probably be a part of. Enjoy.

Bought the game (partly on your recommendation, partly because I stumbled across it again on GOG shortly after reading of it here). A few initial thoughts:

- Agreed: This is a lot of fun, and well worth its price.

- Despite my education's putting me firmly on the humanities side of the great academic ditch, with only trivial programming experience and no experience at all programming any assemblies' languages, I find the puzzles satisfyingly challenging but not all that hard. I've solved all except two of the puzzles on the "main" grid in a few hours. Maybe the expansion campaign which unlocks at that point will stump me; I haven't looked at much of that yet. I should probably mention I'm generally not interested in optimising my solutions to puzzles: as far as I'm concerned, "solved" is good enough to move on.

- I have absolutely no idea what the (spoilery thing) which happens towards the end was supposed to represent, and how (or even if) it ties into the "storyline" so far. Would anyone like to offer their insights?
