About the game

A retro incremental game where you accept jobs involving disks, decide how to process them, and push an aging PC to the absolute limit. Upgrade your machine, reboot to gain permanent BIOS improvements, and tackle disks that get increasingly hot, risky, and valuable.

    They had a cute idea and got the aesthetic right. But there's not really a game here. None of the mechanics are very clear and, since the rules of the game don't match the historical context, you can't really infer them either. You can't buy upgrades during downtime; you have to purchase them during the little defrag animation (at which point the game pauses). You can "reboot" your computer to prestige, which is…

    Not good. Nothing beyond the elevator pitch of the premise of the game is compelling. Most of the game boils down to maximizing RC/s and the game sends up walls of text to try to obfuscate this reality. The game is also guilty of wasting time at every stage of the way, including on the screen between workdays. There are better free games.
