It is 1998. The phone rings. A neighbor's PC will not boot, another wants a gaming rig for the new millennium, and someone on the BBS is trading a rare CPU. You are the neighborhood PC guy, and business is about to boom. PC Repair Simulator drops you into a workshop at the dawn of the internet age. Diagnose broken hardware, swap out dead parts, and bring dying machines back to life. Then build custom PCs to order, hunt for deals on the BBS, and turn a cluttered desk into the best repair shop in town. FIX, BUILD, AND TRADE Every job is a puzzle. Listen to what each customer needs, run your diagnostics, and track down the right components. Build PCs that match a budget and a dream. Trade on the BBS to score rare hardware, then flip it for a profit. The better your work, the bigger your reputation and your wallet. FIVE ERAS OF TECH The story tracks PC culture from 1998 into the 2020s, one upgrade at a time. Start in the late-90s dial-up era, move through LAN parties and CRT monitors, survive glossy late-2000s builds, then reach RGB setups, streaming rigs, ray-tracing graphics, crypto demand, and parts shortages. Your workshop grows with the times. New eras unlock new parts, new problems, and new ways to make a name for yourself. A TYCOON WITH HEART This is not just numbers on a screen. There is a real story here, told with dry humor and a love for the machines that defined a generation. Memorable customers drop by with strange requests. You will laugh, upgrade, and wonder where the afternoon went. Run a retro PC repair workshop, diagnose and upgrade era-inspired hardware, build custom rigs to customer specs, trade parts on the BBS, and enjoy a story-driven tycoon with zero ads and full offline play. The 1998 dial-up era is yours from the start. Unlock later eras, boosters, and upgrades whenever you are ready. Each one is yours to keep. Ready to pick up the screwdriver? Your first customer is waiting.
