Gridlock
A game I've always liked and found very much in line with the sliding block puzzle games that seem to interest me. This is my effort to use my CDFJ  character graphics engine to implement for the '2600.

Way of the Fist (WTF)
I've been dabbling in new draw systems and using fighting sprites for the test graphics. But it looks pretty good, well relatively, and I thought I'd let the test branch have a forum of its own.

Sokoban
I've dabbled with Sokoban clones several times over the years. There's a new one in 2025, so I thought I'd create a home for all of them.

Elite
Elite is a space trading video game. It was written and developed by David Braben and Ian Bell and originally published by Acornsoft for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron computers in September 1984. Elite's open-ended game model, and revolutionary 3D graphics led to it being ported to virtually every contemporary home computer system and earned it a place as a classic and a genre maker in gaming history
