Tonight i'm playing 🏭 FACTORY 95 🏭, which was just published on Ludolio (our new games platform that lets libraries lend games). Macrobit Interactive's automation sim rebuilds the whole feel of Windows 95, just supremely clever reimagining of the factory-sim.

The fixed, limited canvas is almost claustrophobic; the production chains become messy and entangled; but I found this one really pleasant to jump into because everything was easily fixable. Lots of depth, but a nice intro to the genre too.

I'm a sucker for these kinds of optomization problem games, they scratch a very specific itch, but the depth of @liamflannery.bsky.social nostalgic ode to Windows 95 is thoroughly enjoyable.
