Oddeus: Are these all separate games or are they connected in some overarching puzzle mechanic or narrative? Maybe like the episodes in Stories Untold or the mini games in Pony Island?

BitMaster_1980: I only dipped half a foot in yesterday evening but there is a bit of story which is a mix of the typical Zachtronics weirdness and some bits that feel a bit of a autobiographical love letter to the beginning of (PC) games. That said, Zachtronics games sometimes open up the remaining half of the game plus some new mechanics just when you think you solved the damn thing (hello Infinifactory). Don't expect too much, but there is something there.
Nice, thanks!
I can only hope it's a good last game.
Looks very nice.

I would like to know whether there is something that links these games with each other somehow, or it is just a collection of separated minigames. Maybe you unlock something in the universe of the game as you progress with the minigames?

Also, maybe there might be hidden minigames? (one can dream)

Not sure about the homage to gunpla. A sort of 3D puzzle?

Also chipwizard... what the steves (Wozniak, Jobs) used to do for cash, back in the day?

My Impression is that the computer act as a Hub, and then you select programs as individual minigames/puzzles. About the hidden minigames, well if it is like the other Zach games they could be the couple of solitaires into the game.

Yes, I am under that impression too, the computer as a hub. I wonder if something interesting might happen there. Like messages in the BBS or *gasp* emails? It might be in the line of "Learn the story behind Last Call's mysterious sysop, The Barkeep..."

The Forbidden Path looks very intriguing, and the Wanafuda looks good (nice cards).

Thanks for the remark on the minigames! I would like to see some hidden surprises :) Also, good design: you are forced to pick your games one by one, therefore you are to give them some chance instead of instantly opening all of them idly...

Eventually I will purchase the game, Indeed they have a nice oportunity to make interesting things inside this context. Nothing spectacular I guess. But again it is just an impression.
