  Corewar is fun. Someone should include it as an optional feature in a cyberpunk game. So to crack open electronic locks you need to fight computer warriors.

  I was (and, am) a huge fan of EXAPunks, the limitation being my own problem solving skills. Do you think TIS-100 is better or worse? It's a strange omission from your list. Is it that you never played it, or do you think TIS-100 is superior (asking because I haven't tried TIS-100)

    I'm not the OP but have similar tastes. Exapunks just never clicked for me in the way that the other Zach games did. Perhaps it was too visual, or perhaps the problems didn't sit well with how I problem solve. I don't like to look at guides, yet it took me a long time to hit a wall in TIS-100 . But the wall I did hit was "Signal Window Filter" which involved delayed state. A lot of the exapunk problems felt much closer to that style of problem, so perhaps it's just a blindspot of my own reasoning.

    Ah, forgot to mention EXAPUNKS. I also bought that... well let's say for me TIS-100 is more fun. EXAPUNKS kinda felt like Robocode, a bit.
