8bitrocket's profile

8BitRocket is an entity created by my brother Jeff and I (Steve) in the early 80’s when first started programming our Atari 800 computer. We have been making all sorts of games our entire lives, but it was not until 2000 with Flash 5 that we really got into it professionally. We both have made numerous games for Mattel Toys web sites, for some rock bands, and few others properties. We are just now starting branch out and makes games on our own.

Retro Blaster and Space Eggs are really our first two “independent” projects and Space Eggs is really just a tech demo for “Retro Blaster”. I convinced Jeff that we should release it on its own because I really like the elegant simplicity of the game. Both us us grew up loving Asteroids and Star Castle, so our first games were in that genre, b ut we are not limited to it. If you are interested, we wrote a story earlier this year describing what it was like trying to play Asteroids in the early 80’s.

Right now I am working on building my numerous “Fireworks Show” engines into an actual game. Jeff is working on a reusable maze-game engine. We plan to have both games done soon, so we can move on to the numerous projects in our backlog.

If you don’t like what you see now, please don’t give-up on us. We have so many games planned and so many ideas brewing, that we hope to have some really fun stuff out as soon as possible.
