I had no Idea what I was doing for one of these games so, on a whim, as so far it had been a pretty accurate simulation of the retro internet games experience, I pressed F1 for help. And lo and behold: a help menu popped up. 11/10, no notes

I come back to this now and then, mostly to play Dungeons and Diagrams.

Last Call BBS is a hidden gem in the puzzle genre that deserves far more recognition than it gets. Pretty much everything across the collection of sub-games is excellent - from Pencil Puzzles to Zach-Like challenges to two addictive solitaire variants to an incredibly tough arcade game vaguely reminiscent of Puyo-Puyo. Despite the divide in gameplay, everything is presented within a charming 90s BBS backdrop, which leads to an authentic feeling of messing around carefree on a classic PC, helped by little touches such as "cracked by" screens and instructions you must decipher from Japanese. My favourite - and perhaps the most innovative - of the collection has to be X'BPGH: The Forbidden Path. X'BPGH presents you with absolutely no guidance, so I fear to say anything would risk ruining the experience - but playing it is some of the most fun I've had puzzle solving, ever. In conclusion, if you even vaguely enjoy anything from the puzzle genre, buy this game.

A wonderful send-off for one of my all-time favourite studios. The games are full of charm and very addictive. Feels more casual than your average zach-like but scratched all the same itches for me. The fact that you can add your own games is just the cherry on the cake.

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 very cleverly designed. It took me ~40 hours to complete everything, with a majority of that spent between the 3 programming puzzles. I found myself enjoying the variety a lot as I could always jump to a different puzzle if I were stuck on a particular game. And while I've already said it multiple times, I really must reiterate just how incredibly polished the entire experience is. X'BPGH is intentionally bizarre, HACK*MATCH is intentionally presented with instructions in a different language, 20th Century Food Court has several great music tracks and a lot of humor in the pre- and post- level screens. They have an intentionally nostaligic presentation that looks great. The entire experience is tied together with memos you progressively unlock from the former owner of the computer, and while brief they provide just enough narrative to be interesting and engaging, pushing you to find out what the next note will say. All in all this is my favorite of the Zachtronics games I've played. The puzzles may not be for everyone as they are definitely the programming and optimization style that the Zachtronics team excels at. If you're unsure if it is a style you'll enjoy this is a great place to start as there's a lot to enjoy here, even if you don't end up enjoying the meatiest puzzles.
