And it's a "Hello" from me

[Dr_Retro_Spect]

Just a quick introduction - my name is Dr. Retro Spect, I’m a 53yr old programmer from the UK and I appear to have a problem!

I have been recently obsessed with buying old 8 and 16 bit computers and trying my hand at writing games, the old fashioned way, with blood, sweat, tears and bewilderment (and more tears). It’s a calling - or a curse, not quite sure which yet!

Anyway - I posted a game on itch, looked at where the traffic came from, and ended up here (amongst other places) - thought I’d join and say hi!

I’ll be loitering around if there are any questions, hopefully participating and probably annoying some of you .. but hey ho, that’s life!

@Dr_Retro_Spect

annoying some

This is the new way here. Let’s see how long it will last

PS: Welcome to the forum! I enjoyed your longer post on your recent game.

Thanks - I have relatively thick skin (married for over 30 years and have 4 kids - so it’s developed over time) - and I know that not everyone will get on and that’s OK, takes all sorts to make this word go round, so I try to just be groovy

Once again, welcome - good to have you here

Btw, I didn’t know itch shows traffic sources…

Yup
