Retro Coder 2000

It's 1991. You have a room, a desk, and a PC that does everything a PC did back then - and you can open every part of it.

RETRO CODER 2000 is a hands-on retro computer you can play on a desktop or in VR.

WRITE REAL PROGRAMS

- Write your own games in VRK, the PC's own language, in a 90s-style editor

- Start with the LEARN lessons, then pull apart the games already on the disk

- 2D sprites, sound, music, even 3D on a better video card

- Pack your game onto a floppy and publish it for other players

A COMPUTER THAT FEELS REAL

- BIOS, a DOS-style file commander, floppies that take their time

- A modem that screams when it dials, a dot-matrix printer that prints your screen

- Upgrade the CPU, RAM, video card and hard disk - and watch your programs speed up

DIAL INTO THE NET

- Dozens of hand-made 90s web pages: shops, fan sites, guestbooks, conspiracy theories, things that should not be online

- Chat rooms full of regulars, newsletters, junk mail, and "free games" that are definitely not viruses

- A rotary phone on the desk, and numbers worth calling

TAKE JOBS

- Fix clients' code, decode their files, test their games - and get paid (eventually)

- Build Trust with honest clients... or Cred on the other network

GO UNDER

- Find your way onto the darknet

- Break into systems with your own tools: memory dumps, keypads, line taps, access logs, firewalls

- Watch the trace bar. Don't get caught.

- Somewhere out there, someone is watching who solves their puzzles

EARLY ACCESS

This is the beta (0.9). Coming next: the story mode, more LEARN lessons, more games, and Quest and Steam releases.
