• Comet 64

    Anyone played Comet 64?

    I got it in steams winter sale for about $7AUD (don't know what it costs
    in USA, probably $5 or something)

    Been playing it for a bit, it seems to bank on the retro theme, but it's
    not really anything like a Commodore 64 - it's just got a retro-ish
    computer like look.

    It's a pretty fun game so far, it's very simple programming - simple in
    that you only have a few commands, and a handful of registers. I've
    gotten a little bit stuck on one of the puzzles. So although it's simple programming, the problems can be fairly complex to solve.

    I'm enjoying it, but I probably would have been disappointed if I bought
    it at full price.

    I also bought Grey Hack - though haven't played that yet. I love sales :)

    I picked this one up on sale a while back. I was hoping for something playable. LOL

    This is one tough game... It does get the old brain working though!

    I still haven't played it.. whenever I get a chunk of time, like now, I am too tired to learn a new game.

    Would you say it's harder than hacknet? (I think from memory you said you played that)
