Quadrilateral Cowboy is a hack-tical heist game from Blendo Games which will release sometime this year. It calls itself "twentieth-century cyberpunk," and so far it's really hard not to get caught up in its old-tech nostalgia. Please direct your web browser to Quadrilateral Cowboy – Brendon Chung's latest game takes things back to BASIC for more (56.6k modem recommended).

Tyler grew up in Silicon Valley during the '80s and '90s, playing games like Zork and Arkanoid on early PCs. He was later captivated by Myst, SimCity, Civilization, Command & Conquer, all the shooters they call "boomer shooters" now, and PS1 classic Bushido Blade (that's right: he had Bleem!). Tyler joined PC Gamer in 2011, and today he's focused on the site's news coverage. His hobbies include amateur boxing and adding to his 1,200-plus hours in Rocket League.
