It’s been a pleasure to follow the dev progress of Nightfall Hacker and to finally get to play the official release on Steam! An entire Sunday afternoon sped by as I persevered through the new campaign that seems a fair bit longer than the original (the original levels are also available, though without the story.) There are various imaginative new programs, command effects and level designs (some rather diabolical) which make the game its own thing beyond a clone. At least you don’t have to squint at a tiny box anymore!) Teradile’s Nightfall Hacker (2021) All the details seem to be there, especially (for me) the pixellated fonts and sprites!

I identify with this person in not being able to think up more imaginative names than Nightfall. And we’ll finish with a list of recent projects which were active in 2020 or 2021. First, we’ll pay our respects to the many attempts that just fizzled out. I will list them in roughly chronological order. What follows is a summary of the Nightfall Incident tributes in existence, as far as I can tell from my scavenging of the available records (i.e.
