I was so sad to hear Last Call BBS would be his last game. They're such a unique niche, and so fun. As an electronics engineer, Shenzhen I/O really felt like a love letter to the industry. I'll be interested to see what comes next for him.
Huh, I didn't know Minecraft was inspired by a Zachtronics game!
Not enough comments! It's a real shame the games have stopped coming, but on the other hand the ones that already exist will (I think) remain available.

Opus Magnum is the gateway drug, and it's what I'll often get people to try if they ask me a question like "would I like programming?"

More kids should be sat in front of Zachtronics games, and in fact they're free for educational institutions: https://www.zachtronics.com/zachademics/

However, many kids don't seem to have (even access to) real computers now so it'd be great if someone would - with permission, of course - port some of them to iOS/Android.

love every single one of Zachtronics games, favorite is Shenzhen I/O. Magnum Opus is cool also.
