We need you!

We love making games, most of all we love recreating our favourite games of yesteryear from classic computers such as Commodore's, Amstrad's, Atari's and Amiga's. Many of these them relied on gameplay, and element sometimes over looked in modern games that loose them selves in complex controls and deep scenarios. Retro games tend to have a pick up and play quality about them, with plenty of just one more go appeal.

Have you got a favourite game you'd like to see remade for Windows? We'd love to hear your suggestions, drop us an email with the name of the game and what makes it so great. We can't promise anything but we're always on the look out for the next retro remake :)

And if you want a sneak peek at what we might be up to next, check out our highly secret in-dev (in development) pages, but shhhhh you didn't see them...right?!

Making games

For most of the games we have used either Multimedia Fusion or Jamagic. Both available from Clickteam, more information about them can be found on our help pages.

Copyrights

All games have been remade 100% from the ground up without any reverse engineering or direct reuse of materials unless otherwise specified.

We acknowledge the respective copyrights and trademarks of the original authors of the games we remake and we try to obtain permission for each game. However, it is not always possible to trace authors of games up to 20 years old.

To the authors of these classic games, we would like to say a big thank you for creating them and giving much enjoyment to us and millions of game players world wide. We recognise your efforts and talents in these past works and it is only our intention to honour these wonderful games. We do not and will never make money for our efforts, our only goal is to revive the games in an updated Windows format for new gamers to enjoy, and those of us revisiting them all these years on.

Thank you.
