 Retro Remakes
What are remakes you might ask, and what are retro remakes? Put simply, in our world, retro remakes mean games from 8-bit and 16-bit computers that have been remade for Windows.
All the great games here have a retro flavour, and where we have remade an old game we have tried to improve it with out spoiling the original game play.
We particularly enjoyed growing up with the Atari VCS 2600, Commodore Vic-20, Commodore C64, Amstrad CPC464 and CPC6128, Atari ST and Amiga, but we also had friends with Spectrum 48K's, Dragon 32's, Texas TI9/4a, Tandy's and BBC Micro Computers.
The games we remake have generally appeared on several different computers and we get a lot of mail from fans of the originals. The odd game, such as Imogen, appeared only on one platform and it is great to be able to bring some excellent games to new game-players.

 Do you want to make games too?
Making games is easier than you think.
If you've never programmed a computer before, do not despair! There is a game making tool called Multimedia Fusion which does all of the gamey things for you, you just insert your graphics and use a simple (but powerful) event editor to give your game some rules. Some of the games here have been made with Multimedia Fusion. Take a look at Rinso, Galaxy Defender and Life for some examples.
If you have programmed before, then maybe Jamagic will be for you. It not only allows you to program 2D games, but also 3D games. Jamagic has a largest collection of commands than anything else in its class which provide you with the power you need to create any game. Some of the games here have been made with Jamagic. Take a look at Sky Hawk, Imogen, Terra Cognita and Sacred Armour of Antiriad for some examples.
