Esko

Esko puts you in the role of an intern tasked with repairing the ESKO computer’s central processor and writing code for it to read. The game simplifies these tasks for players of all ages, in an environment modeled in cooperation with the Museum of Technology to reflect 1960s Finland. The models were made by the in-house artists and reviewed for authenticity by the museum’s history professionals.

Repair and program ESKO

You replace broken electron tubes in the central processor, then write code on a punched tape and insert it into a code reader. Instead of punching holes in paper, you pull a lever and play a minigame to enter the code. When the code is written successfully, a miniature cannon fires at one of three targets.
