cover Dognapped! (Rescue_Rover)

Over the years, I’ve had a hand in the creation of a long list of games. Many of them are unpublished (mainly because they were my first games and sucked), and I list them for the sake of completion. Below is the list of published games. Some of the games have links to their respective pages where you’ll find more information on them, and sometimes a downloadable version (emulator required for Apple II games). The games I’ve created and published run on many platforms: Apple II, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Windows, NeXTSTEP, Pocket PC, GBA, BREW, Symbian, J2ME, OS X, Linux, N-Gage, Jaguar, Super Nintendo, Sega 32X, 3DO, Playstation, XBox, Playstation 2, etc.

I haven’t listed the tools I’ve written (and published), but the list is about half as long as the game list. Every game needs tools to create the data for the game, be it editing levels, custom data filters, compiling data into one resource file, etc. I’ll make a list of these someday as they represent a lot of my work in game development.
