Retro games are so damn FUN to make. Even a fool like me can make a pleasing experience.

@TomF But how may I ask? Do you use Unity? And what's the best 8bit graphics maker (I have Googled quite a bit...)

@freequaybuoy This is a fantasy 16-bit console called the "Mega68k" that is sort of Amiga+MegaDrive. The sprites are "borowed" from R-Type and Sonic, and the rest is just typing.

@TomF Awesome! You hand code it?

@freequaybuoy Yup - that's pretty much the point of the exercise for me - writing a bunch of fun code by hand.

@TomF I'm a web and app developer, but games and game graphics are sorcery to me., but have tinkered in Unity. I did complete R-Type on the Amiga though. And, finally, Carrier Command recently in a browser ROM.
