This was an awesome game! I can't wait to play the 2nd one now. It was probably the right amount of difficulty, since some people find it hard. I completed it in about 30 minutes or so.

This game, either you get it or not. I code and I have appreciated that the developers have really simulated a sort of command line (even though simplified...). The enigmas are fairly simple once you get the general idea. However, this is really fascinating and the story has just started!

Just to add up to my last comment, i could start where i left. but swapping from page to page makes images get stuck.

Had to look at a walkthrough for one piece...and I'm not sure how that would have been found (it was for Dr. Koidberg's lab and the camera stuff). But I was able to troubleshoot anbd plow through the rest. Spent a good couple hours on this game :D

it's very interesting when you play the game, and somewhat makes you really wonder on how to finish the task (because some riddle needs google to get through). i thought the game couldn't get any better, until i saw that ending message. "i thought you are bruce dayton, but everyone has been dead". this is perfect.

There was a suggestion on the Chicago Tribune Archive on Google for 'August 13 1961'. As in they actually have a special page for it now. Congratulations, you have made your mark.

Interesting idea. Everything made sense and it was pretty fun. When I powered the 5th computer at the end I got a blank white screen then a "restart" cycling arrow with a link to the 2nd game. Probably an error. My only complaint was that I had to close the camera view to manipulate the camera and lights. It was annoying to have to open and close the camera over and over.

Is it my impression, or this is all a type of test GLadOS is giving to an unsuspected test subject, like she did to Chel in the first Portal game?

if you google 'chicago tribune archives', the exact page is the first recommended link, even google has noticed the traffic spike.

I was a bit disappointed when I figured out (from the comments) that level 9 one required you to leave the game and search an internet archive.
