This retro Windows‑95‑style automation game hits every nostalgia button and might pull you into the genre for good

A retro-style factory simulation interface with conveyor belts, machines, and processing units. The screen is labeled "Factory 95." The design is colorful, nostalgic with a playful, strategic tone.

Base-building automation games are becoming quite a popular genre these days, with titles like Satisfactory garnering over 120,000 positive reviews on Steam.

I'm personally not familiar with the genre as it's relatively new to me, but this new automation game that launched on April 22, 2026, is making me consider giving it a try purely on its nostalgic aesthetic alone — Factory 95.
