Loving retro-tech and colorful neon pastel art. 
Sometimes I like to reverse engineer old video games. 

You may also remember me from such software as:

Toad's Tool 64: The original Super Mario 64 level editor.

Metroid Cubed: An early 2000s attempt at voxelizing a classic 2D video game. Recently revived as Metroid Curved.

SFXEdit: A level editor for Star Fox.

Happy 40th birthday Super Mario Bros.!

There's nothing quite like playing this game on original hardware! :D

Back when this bot was at the other place I made an animated version of this gif, using color cycling to make the water flow as it was originally intended. https://mas.to/@gifs_bot/114813803283063048

After playing too many hours of F-Zero 99, I finally managed to squeeze into the top 100 on the weekly leaderboard, with a rank of 54!

Digging around my old Macromedia Director projects archive, I stumbled on one of the earliest thing I made with Director 4.0 on a B&W Mac Classic.

It's a very boring pong game with some "cool" checkerboard distortion effect.

To achieve the effect, the assets were pre-rendered using Photoshop 2.5 (which did work on a B&W Mac!). The "Spherize" filter was used on the ball for each combination of checkerboard patterns and "Emboss" was used for the paddle.
