I have been recently reliving my youth and have bought an old ZX Spectrum, one of my first computers! The main reason I picked this up was to test my latest game! Yes that's right it's for the ZX Spectrum! Why? Well, why not? It's actually a port of Lost Little Spaceman and should be ready for release soon.

Before I could test the game on the real spectrum, I was strugging with the RF out, as it needed an analogue tuner. So I fixed it with a simple mod that isolates the RF Module and wires the composite video signal directly to the socket. I though this may be of use to others, so here are my steps to complete this:... read more

I just removed Trex Runner from the Google Play store and sadly don’t plan to reinstate it.

I would then need to go through the procedure of getting it reinstated. I have done a number of times and the appeal always goes in my favour, but I ... read more

Happy new year everyone. I hope everyone has had a great break.

2018 was a very quiet year for posts. I had hoped to release a couple of games, but well, it never happened. Mostly due to focusing most of my efforts on my new online shop newfangledthings.com. The shop will still keep me busy, but I really miss making games, so I am determined to get a game or two made this year, and probably some other fun projects. I might finally finish my DIY arcade cabinet too!?

Anyway this was just a quick post to give you a quick update to say that I'm still here... read more

You may have noticed that I changed my top banner to OddsMonkey. I'm not normally one to push 'get rich quick' sites. But this is different. I have been a member for years now and I make a substantial tax free income from it.

You are basically betting on all outcomes, so can't lose. The video above explains it much better than me. This system does NOT suggest gambling.

You may have noticed that I disabled comments from my website a number of months ago due to the ridiculous amount of spam comments I was getting. This was even after intergrating reCapture a few years ago. It looks like the bots are now getting too clever for the 'Googles I'm not a robot' web tools!

So today, after some very overdue website maintenace and improvements, I have added comments back to all blog posts. Please check them out. I have also move away from my own backend php and mysql solution. Instead i'm just using Dis... read more
