We are very exc...

John Hancock reviews some games!

Thanks to John for all he does for the retro community!

Bootlegs...

I'm seeing a lot of items (carts, boxes, CDs) pretending to be authentic reboot-games releases or other things I've done on ebay and etsy, etc, that are just plain rip offs, bootlegs or other old things that don't even work properly and have no place being on a cart.

These items are usually marked as "rare" or "hard to ...

Poll: Does size matter?

Hi everyone. I'm considering trying to make a few titles in regular sized Jaguar boxes. This wouldn't be for all releases, I'm fully committed to the mini-cart line and will make more in the future.

The issue with the full size boxes is that I'd have to sell around 50 units, and they'd have to be $70 USD each. I'm n...

Rocketeer: Rebounced!

Rocketeer: Rebounced! is now with the testing team!

The game was started in early 2016 and has changed quite dramatically since then. Of course, it hasn't been worked on continuously since then but over the last 18 months or so Ander and myself have poured hours into this one to get it over the finish line.

[Jag64] Dragonkeep - Caravan Edition

"Doomed, doomed I say!" exclaimed the King, annoyed that dragons had taken over the castle and all its gold! "My Liege! I know the castle better than any other here! I shall return my Lord to his birthright!" "Be brave, boy! But... Beware the Dragonfire!" Dragonkeep was originally released a few years back, this enhanced edit...

Rocketeer: Redialed

Well, I've been wanting to make a version of this for years (decades?) and I've also wanted to get back to the small mini-games again, so why not now?

Rocketeer: Redialed will be a remake/reimagining of another classic 2600 game, but with a reboot-games spin on things.

As was done with Raiding Rivers and a few ...

Lots of work on this completed over the weekend, feels good to be moving on this one again.

Onward into 2025!

So, without wasting any more time, what is planned for 2025?

Rocketeer: Rebounced is heading towards completion.
This will be a Patreon sto...

I thought I'd share them with you all for fun, I hope you enjoy them. Not much to do other than fly around b...

Looking back at '24 and forward to '25

This last year has meant so much to me. I am so incredibly overwhelmed by all the people who have signed up and followed along.

As most of you know, at the end of '23 I was made redundant, so for the year Reboot has gone from a hobby to be a primary source of income. Without the generocity of you, the amazing people w...
