H+Soft
Retro Arcade Entertainment is dedicated to bringing you
the play and feel of the classic and old school games
ranging from the early 1980's to the mid 1990's. H+Soft
games are downloads (not flash games) inspired by the
old arcade coin-ops, PC's, console machines and most of
all, the Commodore 64. The Commodore 64 (in my opinion)
was a revolutionary machine that has made home gaming
and personal computing what it is today. Released around
1981, the machine had a popular life span of about five
years and had literally thousands of mostly action or
arcade game titles. Of those games, most were developed
by independent developers as well as large software
companies, which contributes to the inspiration for 90%
of my game developments. The rest are
inspired by the later DOS, Coin-Ops & Console games from 1986 to 1995.
Why do I
base my game creations around the classics such as the
Commodore 64? I'll tell you why. First of all, the games
of the Commodore 64 had a simple joystick and one
fire button, meaning you didn't have to be a pasty
weirdo locked up in a dark room for several days trying
to beat a game or in other words, a complete 'vidiot'
with double jointed fingers to enjoy video games. The
games of that era were fast, fun and simple, basically
you played for high scores by blasting hordes of
enemies, rescuing a girl at the top of a structure, or
by collecting all of a particular object on a level.
What does all of this mean? It means games don't
necessarily need to have hundreds of tedious levels, or
seizure causing visuals to be fun, and H+Soft Retro
Arcade Entertainment will continue to develop the
classic/retro or mini style games from your younger years. |
