I've uncovered more amazing material for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game that I was working on at Genepool Software. During mid/late 2003 we created a demo of the game for PC, XBOX and PS2 before it was canned. I have just found the Game Design Document, Mission Design Document and much, much more!

Here are some pages from the Game Design Document for the abandoned 'Iron Man' game I worked on at Genepool Software in 2003. The demo we created was looking great, but sadly it was canned and we all lost our jobs. Life as a videogame developer is not always great!

Mixel’s Scorpion Corner Welcome to my Scorpion Engine pages. I’m trying to document as much as I can about SE and add any tips and tricks I find along the way. Here you’ll find tutorials and any other resource…

Ever wanted to make an #Amiga game in Scorpion Engine? This could be a good place to start: mixelslab.com/scorpion/ - it won’t appear new to readers of Zzap Amiga, but I’ve expanded on it and built a section for more tutorials and deep dives.

Just for the record. DL4 was shorted internally. Because of this RL2 was fried by -109V and the TEA2037 (vertical deflection IC) wasn't getting any power. It's fixed.

Instead of turning a clock into a vintage Mac, I turned a vintage Mac into a clock!, I though it would be fun given its #MARCHintosh The program can be downloaded here: github.com/retrotheory/...

We're making a game where you play a courier rider in 13th century Mongolia

No combat, just you, the horse(s) you've tamed, bred and trained and the vast wilderness.

Would you play this?

Running, by Fat Dog from the album WOOF.

I discovered a really obnoxious band, like a hybrid of meat beat manifesto and early vnv nation with some Mr bungle mixed in. Exactly what I need right now. Please enjoy.
