quote [ During InterfaceX26 we are celebrating Fake OS games, bringing together 150+ developers to spotlight the genre. We are making our games easier to discover by coordinating a community push to tag them all on Steam. Alongside that effort, the event features a week-long sale and a live showcase of brand new games. ]
An interesting initiative: devs asking players to tag their games with a new, made-up meta-tag Fake OS. Several games come to my mind that fit this scheme, they also offer some helper on their propositions.

quote [ This is the original soundtrack for the game Distributrains. This music was sequenced using Cakewalk 3 and Anvil Studio 2002 on a personal computer from 1998 [?]. The soundtrack is meant to induce a flow state during each cycle, while simultaneously enhancing the player's intuitive sense of time on repeated playthroughs [?]. ]
Someone requested the soundtrack on the game's itch.io page as a zoning out helper ? the actual game is hailed as "an awesome middle ground between OpenTTD's janky half-baked systems and Factorio's life-consuming complexity" in the comments. It's $8.03 on itch and it's sole creator has a repair blog with retro tech dumpster dives going on.

quote [ Puzzle your way through traps to get the dungeon's treasure ]
Web-based Minesweeper clone (from a long list of Minesweeper clones) in rounds of 10. Apart from cleverly expanding the base mechanic the creator tried to maintain fully deductionable rounds while running a nice social media on puzzle games.

quote [ The man behind the voice of "PEGI 18" recalls recording the iconic lines, TikTok fame, and how he eventually got a proper pay day. ]
That's a sweet story. His professional career choice: going to Brussels in the 80s for British voiceover was a clever move.
