Just lost a happy hour playing Cave Dave this morning. It's still my very best Game Boy game I think. If you're into Retro Games like me the levels are such fun to unlock. Megadrive is my fav !:) #screenshotsaturday

I've totally abandoned the fancier IDEs of late. I'm working entirely in Sublime Text and it's a joy.

Congrats! There's one or more in every room of my house. My kids have grown up with them. My oldest is now in university learning game design !:)

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: added some flight controls (so had to add pitch up/down), and added a few more sprites, so here's me flying around a bit. I think I can live with the frame rate, and perhaps I can optimise the code a bit more. 🙂

Just finished an evening of Spelunky and yep... That is absolutely one of the best video games ever made. A Masterpiece. Hang that shit on the wall in the Louvre.
