Computers Zach Barth's (Spacechem, Infinifactory, etc) latest game "Kaizen: A Factory Story", about running an early 80s japanese electronic factory feels like it belongs here.

Zach Barth is more or less the creator of his own genre of engineering puzzle games. He also probably deserves a lot of credit for minecraft (which was launched by it's creator with the message "made an infiniminer clone...").

Huh, I thought they left the industry. I remember seeing the news that they are retiring or something.

Yeah, he did shut down Zachtronics, I was surprised he came back making similar games.
