One of the most retro and synthetic SFXPacks, Retro contains a large quantity of arcade game sounds. White noise explosions are included with variations, plus electronic weapons noises, and synthetic pickup and upgrade/downgrade sweeps which are easily customised to create amazing new sounds. Some Commodore C64 style percussion instruments round off this extensive set. Contains 75 sounds, 7 environments, 1 sample, 76 modulators.

The Complete Cornutopia Game Bundle Released

A new bundle went live today! The Complete Cornutopia Game Bundle contains all of the Cornutopia Games released on Steam so far. I've been making games since 2001 and constantly updating and remastering them with new graphics, new sound, and new capabilities for the latest computers.

The bundle includes the latest version of all of these Cornutopia Games: Radioactive, Yinyang, Flatspace, Taskforce: The Mutants Of October Morgane, Gunstorm, Future Pool, Gunstorm II, Future Snooker and Flatspace IIk.

I dream of remastering some of the other games that (at time of writing) aren't available anywhere, but this is getting harder and harder these days. All of my games use my own engine and 3D format, graphics painstakingly made old school style, but perhaps one day I'll have the time and resources to revive my other games.

This bundle is a 'complete the set' type, so you only pay for what you don't own. Find it here:

Happy Playing,

Mark
