When a book author decides to cover a subject that is best seen and appreciated on a computer monitor to get maximum affect, then be able to translate it into a fully fledged publication is something I would suggest is a crazy under taking and fantastic vision to execute.

Mayhem in Monsterland

For most home computer systems, a decade of commercial success is an eternity. Users typically move onto more colorful, shinier promises of pixel perfection. However, the beloved c64 was stalwart, with high profile titles being released into the early 90’s. It’s commonly agreed when looking back on the history of the ’64, that Mayhem in […]

Jason approached Jon with an offer to release the game for him and ‘Psytronik Software’ […]
