This was the prototype for the first Baby-Man game. It was originally going to be called Little Sh*tler but we decided to make it family friendly! Swapping bullets for Professor P's Patented Mood Mash and a squirty gun.

We had a road trip accross the pennines to Chorley on Saturday. We finally got to see the comedy legend John Shuttleworth (OOF!) He was absolutely brilliant! His merch was even funny! I bought his book and a wooden spoon (?) which he signed! Top man! #johnshuttleworth #oof #raisetheoof #legend

Despite Amazon constantly mucking about with the prices I'm still selling a few Retro Jotters... Can you guess which ones are the most popular?

Was looking through old things again... I think this was reviewed in a very early issue of Retro Gamer mag. #pottypigeon #retroremake They seemed to prefer the original but it was really fun to make this with me old pal Geekay. I put a few extra Gremlin Graphics characters in the background too.

I'd have gone with something like this. The guy on the left is a sausage riding a sausage because I'm not too well versed with the kirby racing games.

With the success of the NEXT kickstarter we're thinking we should convert our speccy games to it. Here's a mockup of Babyman 1 I did a while ago...

Could something like this be hacked to run homebrew speccy games? You can pick these up for less than a tenner in most supermarkets.

I often wonder what a modern Monty Mole game would be like. I helped out at the Games Britannia educational festival with some actual Ex-Gremlins and came up with these designs. I imagined old Monty coming back home to pass on the baton to his kids. #fanart #montymole #gremlingraphics #zxspectrum

Was just looking through some old folders and found these screenshots. This was a remake of Automania from the speccy with a little twist for the Retro Remakes competition way back. I used "The Games Factory" to make the game and Flash to do the art.
