Game development is never really finished. I still publish occasional updates to Highway Pursuit, which I first released back in 2003! 🚙

I was a huge fan of 16/48 magazine. It really felt futuristic.

I was already walking away from Twitter after he bought it, but the day the icon on my phone home screen changed from a little blue birdie to a giant X was the final straw for me.

Because you need to pay MORE!
The adverts have pretty much stopped me watching anything on Prime Video. I guess I could occasionally pay the extra (it is only 3 or 4 pounds a month) and just compress a whole load of viewing into a month, but it is very annoying.

Looks really good, I love the way it suddenly breaks out into 3d.
I started a more straightforward Bubble Bobble remake many years ago but it joined the big pile of unfinished projects.
Please post more videos of your game as you work on it, I'd love to see more.

2025 has been challenging and depressing in many ways, with no end in sight to many of its problems. But, I can honestly say, watching your videos on TrekCulture have been among the things that have made it all much better, thank you so much for all your hard work!

I usually find when the taskbar refuses to hide, it's because some application is trying to get your attention, and clicking it in the taskbar is enough to get it to leave you alone. Teams is a prolific offender for this. If it does it again, try clicking every application and see then if it hides.

I dropped one of their saucepans from a shelf on to my toe a couple of years back. Thought I'd broken it. (My toe that is, not the pan, the pan just shrugged it off). Lovely products but you need to be careful with them!

I for one will very much miss that tosh, but I can't say I blame you, I've always been amazed at the amount of energy you put into all those posts. I hope we'll still hear from you now and then. 🤞
