This game is currently in the Humble Choice for December 2023, and this is part of my coverage of the bundle. If you are interested in the game and it's before January 2nd, 2023, consider picking up the game as part of the current monthly bundle.
The final new title from Zachtronics
Last Call BBS came out last year. It was a bit of a surprise, being announced as Zachtronics’ final release. While they did release a solitaire collection after this, this is more of a collection of the games that never got made. There are 7 unique titles here, and they range from a game where you lay out metal for a chip, a game where you automate a kitchen and a game where you build Gundam models, which is far more interesting than it should be.
But ultimately this is Zachtronics, it’s all the same negative. It’s a game built for a programmer or logic mindset, and while I love that, it’s not going to appeal to most players. There’s a good amount of content but a few games feel a little short, mostly the Gundam models or at least legally-distinct-giant-mecha models, I just want a hundred of them. Also, this feels like prototypes the studio made and never built for a full game. It’s not a huge negative but feels a bit like leftovers.
Pick this up if you enjoy Zachtronics games. I keep saying this and this is absolutely another for that pile. I adore this company, I said goodbye to them when this game came out, and looking at this once more gives me a lot of nostalgia. I would highly recommend checking this out if you ever enjoyed any of their games. And I know of their new company Coincidence, I can’t wait to see what happens with them.

got this game from the humble bundle, the feel of the retro comupter matches and its great design - the minigames are definitely interesting and i realized that most zachtronic games are for people that love logic puzzles and i feel like this isnt 100% the game for me, but i can see the interest and i can tell they make great stuff for sure - the gundam maker and solitaire was cool
A collection of interesting in unique puzzle games with an awesome presentation. Easy recommendation for any fan of puzzle games.
It's essentially a solitaire pack but way cooler, gave this to all my friends it's awesome
pretty awesome concept, i do wish the computer/bbs aspects came into play more often once you have all the games, my brain isnt smart enough for most of the games so i just played 20 hours of solitaire
This is a good collection of puzzle games in a nostalgic and comforting package. The puzzles are properly challenging, downright bastards of difficulty sometimes. But its just so charming I come back sometimes just to play solitare.
spent 8 hours straight playing solitaire like I'm some old man
Cool collection of games with a very pleasant style reminiscent of an age I didn't experience. The games themselves were a bit of a mixed bag for me since half the games were too complex or difficult for my peanut brain but I got more than enough enjoyment out of the solitaires, dungeons and diagrams, and the model builder.
Funny game. I only played Solitaire because it is the only game I understand . It would have probably been funnier if my IQ was higher than 5.
I like how it's framed through a retro computer, and the presentation is generally pleasing. The actual games are a mixed bag, some are fun some aren't. My favourite was the gunpla builder.
The presentation is beautiful, and the puzzles are quite fun, but also pretty hard. I mainly just played solitaire, but I finished a couple of the puzzle packs.
