The family computer is infected again and it’s your job to fend off waves of viruses and adware foes with an arsenal of nostalgic Y2K-inspired weapons. Antivirus Survivors 2003 Professional is a survivor-like auto-shooter filled with nods to the days when computers were actually fun.

Man, Frutiger Aero is so nostalgic, I swear it's like back then was like... the past or something. Look at this nostalgia edit, it's 20 different things from 3 different eras meshed together. It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ peak, man. I miss 2007

If you are under age 30 and don't recognize any of the little icons and jokes, it doesn't matter. It's a good game...
I played the demo and was thankfully part of the "unpaid interns" and this game is just great, the visuals, the vibe; it all screams that early internet/xp era that we all miss!
