Download I love this to death. It was written on a rainy sunday afternoon using some graphics left over from Yak Attack – kindly provided by John Blythe. Obviously, it’s galaxians, but it has beautiful synthy sound effects, not to mention evil sheepies.

Cookie

Download This is a remake of ultimate’s 1982 Spectrum bake-em-up. It was originally written to run under DOS, but this version has been ported to run happily under all versions of windows.

Gaaaaaah

Why do Mondays have to be so bloody start-of-the-weekish? eh? EH? I’m not a well bunny. Apparently, the old ujournal entries have started to be populated now, so I may be able to scrape the old journal out at some point. Nice weekend, though – loads of fun.

The Land Within the Wind

A little girl named Dot once thought the sky was made of sea and up above that rolling ocean was another world to see. And as she looked up from her garden at the swirling cloudy skies she thought that it must be a happy place where no one ever cries. Up above there, in

Incoming! (part 2)

Woohoo! Our ujournal user has appeared on aboutmylife.net! That means our old entries will soon be recovered. Once they are, there’ll be a chunk of copying and pasting required to get them into moveable type, but then they’ll be safe for ever 🙂 I’m getting quite excited now – our old blog documented some, erm,
