A public demo of the banned 1995 CD-ROM ‘Forbidden Solitaire’ is being leaked TOMORROW on #Steam.

Authorities advise gamers to exercise extreme caution. Campaign groups, such as ‘Justice for Timmy,’ go further: urging players to delete all traces of the software if they are tempted to install it.

Dying to Live is a Flash game I made in a 2012 at a gamejam I organised in Vancouver. I think expanded it with more levels a bit later on.

A Math(s) game I made in Flash for my sons 12 years ago. Can you beat my score? I only met one person who could score over 2000.

Another old flash game from 2013 revived. Cyber Citadel! Inspired by an old BBC Micro game. Enjoy! (use WASD and mouse and play on a computer)

Have revived this old 2013 Flash game called Mindpeace (with Ruffle).

TW: It has a dark ending.

Also this game still feels relevant, maybe more so now, due to all the crap on TV and social media. Also now that I know more about my own neurodiversity.

A short Flash puzzle game (now resurrected with Ruffle) that I made in 2013. Farm the aliens. It gets quite tricky from level 4. Can you beat it?

Proud of this one! Dungeon Pub Crawl (get it?) has been resurrected from the Flash grave using Ruffle.

I made this back in 2013 before Roguelikes became cool again ;-) It's a short 3 level game. You must visit the pub on every level!

In 2013 I made The Case of the Mysterious N*zi Smuggler with @agaitcheson.bsky.social at a 48hr gamejam. It's a very short game, easy to finish!

Island Burner is a toy that I made at Orcajam on Vancouver Island in 2013! It uses Conway's Game of Life to grow (or delete) and island and come up with interesting-looking Geography.

Another Flash minigame converted to Ruffle. Techno Zombies! A Dungeon Master-style game, made in 2D with some trickery for rotating 90 degrees. Made in 2015. It's a very short 2 level demo. Find the exit!

Here's another Flash minigame that I've just converted to Ruffle. It's a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up with lots of powerups including Super Washnan! Made in 2015,

Very pleased to have resurrected this old Flash minigame I made using Ruffle. It's a very short point and click adventure called "Star Seer" with art and music by me too, playable in the browser (not sure about on mobile).
