News:

1 March 2008

I've not updated anything for ages. But with a Strongbow induced enthusiasm I've added Galaxian and re-linked Donkey Kong and Frogger to Scot Porters new site at www.smashcat.org. I still need to update the links page though......

10 December 2004

Ok...No updates for a long time...My apologies but since the birth of my son the time seems to have flown by. I've not had chance to develop any further games, but indend to finish Defender sometime. The only other news is that Scott Porter has closed his excellent javascript-games.org site. A great loss...

28 June 2003

The site has had an 800% increase in visitors for some reason. I can only assume I have been linked to from somewhere! If you know where, please let men know!

14 June 2003

Well, I started on Defender but decided that I would rather do Battlezone. So a quick read up on VRML and linear algebra leads me to belioeve it's possible. I've got a couple of p[yramids and cubes spinning in 3d and can move through the world, all I need to do now is add some tanks. Stay tuned! TG

29 May 2003

I started some time ago on a version of Defender, but got totally distracted by LOADS of stuff I
needed to do at home. So I've cheated, and added pages with links to Donkey Kong and Frogger
from Scott Porter's Javascript Games website. Scott has many more games on his site and it is regularly updated.

28 March 2003

Minor update to the site. Fix to Moon Patrol when I overlooked the pre-loading of the
backgrounds. I am looking for suggestions for the next game...I'm currently considering Defender or
Pole Position. Any suggestions are gladly received by email or via the message board.

23 March 2003

The new look <Javascript Arcade> coincides with the relase of my latest game...
                                                         Moon Patrol
Here is a screenshot of the final version. It is available for play online or download for inclusion
in your own site....enjoy.
