Download Another remake of a Jeff Minter game, with yet more John Blythe graphical goodness. In this one, you basically have to gob at spiders. It was written over a rainy weekend in C/Allegro. Should run on any version of Windows

Download Well, this was a kinda joke really 😉 I was in the retrospec clubhouse one day and Graham was slagging me off about coding on speed and, to cut a long story short, I made this stupid boast that I could do a remake in an afternoon. Sadly, the others pounced on me and

Download Technically, this isn’t finished, but as it never will be, it was released anyway. I do still have the Blitz Basic 3D source code for this if anyone wants to take it on. Basically, it’s a 3Dish version of Boulderdash/Repton. It was originally going to have 64 levels but, well, my house burned down

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.

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.

Download This was done in 1999 (I think) and is a remake of spectrum game released by Bug Byte. The original graphics were done by Matthew “Jet Set Willy” Smith, and mine have been given a lovely treatment by john Blythe. The game is pretty straightforward but has a reputation for having horrible physics. I

Download I wrote this in 2000, I think. It’s a windows remake of the Atari 800 version of Jeff Minter’s game of the same name. The original was itself a remake – based on the Empire Strikes Back game for the old Atari VCS (the one where you have to shoot down the walkers using

Greetings remake fans and spec-chums. I’ve embarked on my first remake in quite some time. You’re probably aware that we had a pretty crap year in 2003, what with being on the hot end of a housefire, me being made redundant, and other stuff. All of this resulted in the destruction of my entire development
