Night Shift

Night Shift is a 1990 action game with a wonderfully unusual premise: instead of saving the world, the player is busy working a night shift. Naturally, this is not an ordinary job, because this is a video game and ordinary employment would be considered far too peaceful. Players must manage tasks, deal with hazards, and keep the operation running while the pressure gradually increases. The game combines action and management elements in a setting that turns the workplace into a surprisingly dangerous environment. Night Shift has a distinctive sense of humor in its concept, especially for anyone who has ever worked late and wondered whether the machinery was secretly plotting against them. It is a quirky product of its time, offering a different kind of challenge: survive the shift, keep everything working, and try not to discover that your job description includes saving civilization.
