I Love My Computer Overview
I Love My Computer was one of those strange, simple games that felt right at home in the Flash era. It came out in 2002, a time when you could find a new distraction in a few clicks. The game didn't need a complicated story or fancy graphics. It presented a basic, almost absurd premise and let you run with it.
You control a cursor, selecting from a row of tools to inflict damage on a laptop. The goal is straightforward: destroy the computer completely to impress your pixelated secretary. You might start with a hammer, then move to a drill or a saw. Each tool has its own animation and sound, and the laptop's condition visibly deteriorates with every hit. The pacing is quick, with no real penalty for experimentation. You just keep clicking until the machine is a sparking, broken mess. The experience feels like a brief, cathartic release of pointless aggression.
