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.


Cheers,

Bob.
