So I've been collecting logic games pretty much since I first played MYST and RIVEN back in the day.

Lately I've started focusing on "programming" and "hardware" logic games. Since pretty much every list on the Net lists the same 4 or 5 games (at least two of which were by Zachtronic every time - not that I don't like Zachtronic!), I made my own.

Please have a look and feel free to reach out if there are games that are missing. No doubt there are several (I hope).

HUMAN RESOURCE MACHINE is pretty good, though about 1/2 through, the challenges started to seem like my actual day job. Definitely would recommend for kids interested in picking up programming.

Sounds like quite the endorsement from an "industry insider".

I did finish it, though it tok me quite some time, didn't have the strength/brain to get into 7 Billion Humans though.
