Lets Make a Retro Game: Ep 1: Getting Started

This is the 1st video in my new series where I am going to work through the steps required to make a home brew game for a retro 8-bit console or computer system.

In each episode I will work through various topics, such as tools, methods and design.

In this first episode I:


  • - explain the underlying goal of the series,
  • - describe the game we will be developing,
  • - provide instructions on downloading and using a sprite editor I am providing


The TI-99XX Sprite Editor can be downloaded here.

The sample project file can be downloaded here.
