All those discounts and "creator day", etc; I feel left out because my games are always completely free 🙄

Anyway, go and grab some FREE GAMES:

usebox.net/jjm/

There are #amstrad, #zxspectum, #msx, #c64, #dos games (as some more!). You can play them on an emulator, of course.

Some also have Collector Edition in the actual media for the system (which can't be free because they are physical editions, I don't make the rules of the universe!), if you have the hardware.

Hi! I'm a software engineer making games in my free time for classic systems, mostly 8-bit (Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, MSX and C64); but lately also MS/DOS.

My latest release at the moment is The Heart of Salamanderland for the #Amstrad CPC.

Some of my 8-bit releases have a physical edition by Poly.Play (and others).

I also love OSS and programming in different languages, so expect a bit of that as well!

My games are free to download: usebox.net/jjm/

39. Queremos su dinero (Jesús Martínez del Vas). Difícil evaluar una biografía que oscila entre la importancia indiscutible que tuvo su protagonista en la historia de la microinformática en España y el convencimiento de que tanto él como su mentor Alan Sugar serían personas que me caerían fatal en caso de haberles conocido. Un comercial de la vieja escuela de los años 80, con un talento innegable para vender pero con esa actitud de empresaurio que me dispara todas las alertas. Un libro con un diseño estupendo, muy interesante para todos los que vivimos la época pero un tanto empañado por la excesiva admiración del autor que termina convirtiendo la historia en una hagiografía.

managed to get some #retrogamedev done on the amstrad last night and got my timers working properly.

its on my itch page (terlan.itch.io/easy-as-123) as a CDT if anyone wants a shot.

its easy all you need to do is answer 1 2 or 3 to simple sum of the numbers 1, 2 & 3 before the timer runs out and get the highest score you can. the timer gets progressively shorter the more you score.
there are other versions too.

itch.ioEasy as 123 by Retro Gerry

i'm a recovering #academic and former #gamedev who worked primarily on #adventuregames. now working as a new media #artist producing #retrocomputing interactive installations. currently building 1992: The Simulation.

grew up in the 80s and 90s with a Tandy TRS-80 CoCo II -> Mattel Intellivision -> #Amstrad PC #XT -> IBM PS/1 -> Boring Beige Pentium 133, long before I fell in love with the iBook G4.

nowadays I spend most of my time building period-accurate interactive exhibits with retrocomputing hardware and software.

the rest of my time involves photography and (interactive) documentary filmmaking.

I should do, or even redo sometime in the future, an #introduction finally.

I'm from Poland and have grown up with an #AmstradCPC, which made me two things for life: a #Software engineer, and an 8-bit retro enthusiast.

Today in my home you'll find: all the #Amstrad CPCs, an #AmstradPCW, a #MegaPC, #Atari 65XE,130XE,800XL, a #C64 and a #C128, #Amiga 600 and 1200, a couple of #MSX and #ZXSpectrum, some obscure ones like #OlivettiM20, old AT PCs, old laptops, printers, a #PowerMac and… a PS5.
