" So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"
Mark Franklin Thompson

We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.

All it needs is a Russian soundtrack to fully drive home the Tetris roots. Lots of great Rogue elements and a nice mix of quests to keep you going for the dopamine hit.

I look fwd to content upgrades and/or dlc.

Uncle Tom says...Great fun for little money equals Would Buy Again.

Based on the promise of a Linux port ** I give this game a few mega thumbs up.

First, if you have never done any code work do not be put off by the talk of assembly code or programming. This is a puzzle game of the best kind.
Did you like SpaceChem or any of the other Zachtronic games? If so then drop your cash in the Steam slot and strap in.

But if you do remember learning z80 assembler code, working in cramped memory spaces, shifting bits about and page flipping anis this game is going to make you either really happy or suddenly suicidal. In a good way though.

And then there is the mystery of the machine itself. Ruh Roh.

Note bene...Print out the manual. Not only is it a great bit of tat it will help in the early stages.

(**Linux comrades, the game works under wine well enough until the promised native son is delivered. yes wine sucks and I am not fond of using it, for this though I will make the case for it. )

A much needed app for players of many games. TTS has a simple learning curve with a near infinite amount of replay value. It gives you the ability to play the games you want, when you want them and with the players you want. The content that is linked to in the Workshop is growing everyday, if there is a game you do not see there it is not all that hard to port it over yourself.

As close as I have come yet to playing a RTF/FPS/Wargame all at once while drinking a chai. Play it once, your hooked.

12 years latter....We have always been fighting on The Crown.


Never get off the boat!
