-> Forward to
the Past <-
The wonderful folks at Phoenixware have helped me fulfil a lifelong ambition to release a ZX Spectrum game on a real tape that you can play on a real ZX Spectrum.
You can buy your very own copy on a real tape, while stocks last, here: https://www.phoenixware.co.uk/product/forward-to-the-past/
You can also download some of the other games we’ve made, following the links below:
ZX Spectrum Games
When I was a kid I was obsessed with the ZX Spectrum and would have loved to have been able to make games for it, there were no online tutorials & YouTube guides back then! Decades later, my son is the age I was then and for a bit of fun during lockdown 2021 we looked into making some games
Commodore 64 Games
Back in the late 80s, one thing I did manage to do was make some Commodore 64 games with the Shoot Em Up Construction Kit. Most of them got lost in the mists of time, but a couple survived, which can be downloaded & played on an emulator.
Some folk online have been doing playthroughs of my games, click here to view them
Magic Sheep Creations
My wife Rachel makes the best woolly stuff, hats, scarves, blankets & whatnot.
The product range is constantly evolving, why not check out her site to see the latest offers.
Other Stuff
Gameshows
Another ambition of mine was to appear on a TV gameshow. I managed to tick this off the bucket list a few times, including an appearance on the legendary Fifteen to One, which you can view here.
I was also on BBC 1’s The Tournament which was fantastic fun!
Thank you for visiting Sloanysoft
