This silly little tool lets you generate ideas for computer games based on the many British computer games that came out during the 80's. While it's kinda poking fun at this era of games, I do love many of the games from this era (especially everything by Llamasoft) and it was made with love. This is very early in development and I'm hoping to expand on it and make it look better.

If you enjoy this generator, consider checking out some of the modern ZX Spectrum games on this site. There's lots of great games being made for the platform today.

I once fantasized about a video game featuring the Weetabix Skinheads. I thought I should just check that it didn’t actually exist already . Imagine my delight to find …

Weetabix Versus The Titchies is a 1984 promotional video game where players control "Dunk" the Weetabix character to fight "Titchies" in a Space Invaders-style shooter. Released for 8-bit computers like the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum, it was one of the first, if not the first, cereal-sponsored video game giveaways.

Use this as a basis for a game jam.

I don't have the time to organize one but if anyone else wants to, go for it. I'll also happily play anything inspired by a prompt

"A text adventure where you play as a mole in steampunk Victorian era England and must defeat Dracula.

Available on the Atari ST."

This feels so fitting for an Atari game.

Love it!

Probably my favourite:

"A platformer where you play as a chubby Batman in a mansion and must assign parking tickets"

Might even have to make it one day... sans the copyrighted Batman of course!

I'd play it! Thank you for checking it out
