It's free-roam, moody, fun and deep. Why exactly did this amazing space flight game become so obscure?
Shoutout to the ZOOM Platform for giving me early access to Hardwar so I could have a review ready for launch day. Not partnered/sponsored and they didn't pay me for this review.

Hardwar originally came out in 1998 and seems to be somewhat obscure. Physical copies are few and expensive. Wish I knew about it sooner back when I was in a space flight phase...I would have played this to death.
Come to our Discord and talk Hardwar or other games!

Not sure what I expected from a ValuSoft published game but at least my nostalgia didnt blind me too much.
Some of the Prison Tycoon games are on Steam but as of writing the original one isnt.
I hope to never play this trash again....but knowing me Ill probably torture myself with it again some day.
Come to our Discord and talk about Prison Tycoon...or whatever game youd like to talk about!

For this first episode I chose something more laid back and comfy. This series will cover some intense DOS games. Im trying to pace myself before getting into the wild stuff like RPGs or ultra cryptic adventure games.
It wouldnt have been possible to do this series with actual DOS hardware if it wasnt for the Patrons. Huge shoutouts to those lovely people.
