About
So who would live in a house like this? Well, the majority of the time at least I answer to the name Jason or T.M.R (a contraction of The Magic Roundabout) but there are a few more derogatory titles that have been applied to me over the years! I’ve been programming games and demos for computers since my teens and writing about them for fifteen years in first an amateur and then a professional capacity (well, it’s paid work but if that makes me a professional writer is probably still open to interpretation).
On the programming front, projects I’m involved with include Cosine, which is a loose team of developers working on 8- and 16-bit computers as well as current and previous generation consoles, Bullet Mechanics, a one-person indie games “label” that could probably do with being more productive and Illogistix, which is meant to be about experimenting with code and programming languages. As regards writing, I’m the editor of Oldschool Gaming which features reviews of independently developed games for 8-bit machines, very occasionally remember to update Retro Tat which is a vague and very likely misguided attempt to write about direct to TV “retro” hardware and software releases that emulate or expand on classic games and I’m the homebrew reviewer for Retro Gamer magazine, covering indie games, remakes and new releases for classic 8- and 16-bit computers and consoles.
