  Brilliant! I remember playing this as a kid on my Apple II+. I can’t remember how many hours it took me, but I eventually managed to make it through the entire thing. Many happy memories of this game helped lead me to a career in software engineering.

  The list currently only has Steam games, but this is up for debate: https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games/discussions/15 https://github.com/arcataroger/awesome-engineering-games/dis... If these older games don't get added there, it might be worth creating a sibling list that this one can link to?

    ahhh, I didn't realize steam only. I don't think you'd find many dosbox games that really fit the theme. Robot odyessy is coming up on 40 years old. but this ``` I say keep it to just Steam games. That way if nothing else it has the focus to be an amazing utility and still has plenty of items to curate. Once the criteria becomes "everything under the sun" it becomes so huge that it's likely to have a low signal to noise ratio for usefulness. ``` seems like a pretty reasonable stance. Completely fair to say if people want old games, go look for old games.

  And its simpler predecessor (IIRC) Rocky's Boots.
