John Hancock reviews some games!

Thanks to John for all he does for the retro community!

Bootlegs...

I'm seeing a lot of items (carts, boxes, CDs) pretending to be authentic reboot-games releases or other things I've done on ebay and etsy, etc, that are just plain rip offs, bootlegs or other old things that don't even work properly and have no place being on a cart.These items are usually marked as "rare" or "hard to find" when in reality, they will be unfinished or ju...

Poll: Does size matter?

Hi everyone. I'm considering trying to make a few titles in regular sized Jaguar boxes. This wouldn't be for all releases, I'm fully committed to the mini-cart line and will make more in the future.The issue with the full size boxes is that I'd have to sell around 50 units, and they'd have to be $70 USD each. I'm not a fan of that price point, and it doesn't sit well...

Rocketeer: Rebounced! is now with the testing team!The game was started in early 2016 and has changed quite dramatically since then.

[Jag64] Dragonkeep - Caravan Edition

"Doomed, doomed I say!" exclaimed the King, annoyed that dragons had taken over the castle and all its gold! "My Liege! I know the castle better than any other here! I shall return my Lord to his birthright!" "Be brave, boy! But... Beware the Dragonfire!" Dragonkeep was originally released a few years back, this enhanced edition has the following changes: Fixed screen g...

Rocketeer: Redialed

Well, I've been wanting to make a version of this for years (decades?) and I've also wanted to get back to the small mini-games again, so why not now?Rocketeer: Redialed will be a remake/reimagining of another classic 2600 game, but with a reboot-games spin on things. As was done with Raiding Rivers and a few of the other games, I'll post WIPs as we go along. Lets see how long this one...

Current thinking is that this will b...

Thrusty Things!

Well, I found a backup drive from around 2019 this week containing some early builds from what became Gravitic Mines. These builds are back from the initial post on AtariAge when it was called "Thrusty Thing".I thought I'd share them with you all for fun, I hope you enjoy them. Not much to do other than fly around but you can see how elements were added at the start to build up into ...

Looking back at '24 and forward to '25

This last year has meant so much to me. I am so incredibly overwhelmed by all the people who have signed up and followed along. As most of you know, at the end of '23 I was made redundant, so for the year Reboot has gone from a hobby to be a primary source of income. Without the generocity of you, the amazing people who signed up and purchased things, the outlook could have been a bleak one.Th...
