About me

Games
I really do like making games...

- Minesweeper Remake of the old classic minesweeper game
- Multiplayer Asteroids Originally made as a test of our multiplayer server. But I used far to much of my own time tweaking on it to call it a pure work related project. Download for your website!

- Sand Toy I love sand toy games, so I had to try to make my own.
- Magic Marbles 2 Polished version of the old original Magic Marbles
