Welcome!
This site is dedicated to the games I've written for Sinclair's ZX81
& Spectrum home computers.
In
2005 a friend persuaded me to submit a Spectrum game I'd written years
earlier as a teenager and had been re-discovered in a box of tapes from
my parent's
attic, to Cronosoft, a modern retro-computer publishing house.
They liked it, published it, and in the next four
years I wrote a further nine
games for the machine.
In
2010 I decided it was time for a change, and so took a step backwards
in time and started to write for the ZX81, a much slower and less
feature-rich machine than the Spectrum, but full of promise. Two
games in, and a brief return to the Spectrum was required to bring the
fourth Horace game back to its spiritual home, before returning back to
the '81.
In 2012, another four games were released - an ASCII-based
shoot'em-up for the 48K Spectrum called 'LumASCII', 'Noir shapes' -
a tile-based puzzle game for the 16K ZX81, 'Impact!' - a conversion
of the familiar arcade game 'Asteroids' to the 16K ZX81, and 'One
Little Ghost' - a rewrite of the familiar arcade game 'Pac-Man' for the
16K ZX81 but with the tables turned and in isometric 3D.
And now, our first game of 2013 - Gem Chaser - a fiendish little arcade puzzler.
Cheers,
Bob.
