I have been playing NIMBY Rails on and off for a while. It was a fun program to play when it was originally released in early access. But in just a little time NIMBY rails has been much improved. Recently, the developer has added scheduling to the game and signal scripting. (I haven't looked closely at the latter, but I am anxious to soon.) As fans of simulators and trains, you'll enjoy how much it has evolved. I recommend it highly to my gaming friends.

You would like to be an astronaut, but it's not in the cards? Get Reentry - a Space Flight Simulator and learn to fly the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo spacecraft. Even fly to and land on the moon!

Reentry is the most realistic space flight simulator currently on the market. You will learn all of the procedures necessary to launch four spacecraft, including the lunar launch vehicle, building your confidence in space missions. It includes an academy to teach you the basics, and plenty of scenarios to give you practice. As a bonus, several historical flights are reproduced for you to fly as well.

It is supported by an active Discord community, helping you feel connected and supported as you explore space simulation and learn from fellow astronauts.

Give it a try. You will love it too.

Nice little game with a terrible programming language. ;0)

I enjoy playing games that require in-depth analysis and reflection. For me, Bombe stands out as the best logic puzzle I've ever encountered. The basic play involves creating rules that can be applied to Minesweeper-like puzzles using truth tables, which can then be automatically applied to a database of various puzzles by the computer. The most effective rules are those that are versatile enough to be used in a variety of scenarios, and clear enough to solve as many puzzle cells as possible. This versatility and clarity are what make Bombe so intriguing and worth exploring.

I find that I often get "stuck" in Bombe, but that's a good thing. It means that the puzzle is challenging and requires thought. When the answers come, you sometimes wonder why it was so hard to find.

This isn't a game you will complete in a few weeks of play. Even if you possess Mensa-level abilities, this game may take months or years to complete.

A nice upgrade from Tower!3D Pro.

I love the graphics of the Antelope Valley lines and the sounds you hear inside and outside the trains. I even heard dogs barking while driving through the country. There is enough realism to make it fun to use, but still not so realistic to make it impossible to run.

If you enjoy logic, computers, and digital circuits, MHRD is an excellent game that challenges your thinking and problem-solving skills. It guides you through the process of designing digital circuits, including logic gates, adders, counters, registers, memory, and even a working CPU. What makes this game unique is that it is entirely text-based, so you must describe your components instead of visualizing them. If you are a fan of logic, computers, and digital circuits, this game is sure to keep you engaged.

After going through the tutorial scenarios, I can genuinely recommend FlightLevel. Understand that FL is currently in an Alpha version, so there are some rough edges to the program, but it seems to be mostly bug-free. So far, the bugs that I have encountered are not game-stopping and are easily remedied.

The tutorials start out easy and then work through slightly more complex concepts. You might want to reset and review the tutorials more than once to get familiar with the controls before tackling challenging scenarios.

FlightLevel has a lot of potential, so I hope the developers continue their work. But even in its current state, the program is fun to play.

Go for it.

If you like logic, this is the game you want. It starts with a NAND gate and uses that to construct a working computer one logical step at a time. It will help you understand how simple components can be combined to create more complicated components.

I am about halfway through so far, and I love it.

I enjoy playing. It offers a challenge, but is not too difficult to play. Graphics are a little suboptimal though.
