This is my second remake of Scramble. It has rescaled graphics, a brand new stage, a continue option and - last but not least - additional gameplay. In later stages you fly right to left! Check it out. It's weird! You can also hook up a gamepad or joystick to play. Please contact me if you have tips or suggestions or maybe a bug to report.

Retroremakes The largest game remakes community on the Internet with many links to remakes of old video games. While you're there, take a look at the competitions. The reviews of the games are really interesting.
Classic-retro-games Great site with a lot of classic retro games you can dowload. When you're a remaker you can submit a game.
Retrogamer A UK magazine that's fully dedicated to retrogames.Issue 33 of Retro Gamer featured a write up on my Demon Attack remake.
Purebasic All my remakes are coded in Purebasic. I've tried to code games in Visual Basic but I soon got very bored. When coding directx in visual Basic you have to code a lot of overhead. So I searched for another way to do the trick and tested basic compilers like Liberty basic, Darkbasic and Blitzplus. They are all very good compilers but I choose Purebasic. Purebasic produces very fast and very small executables.
Blender Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling. I used it for allmost all the graphics in Demon Attack. Blender is not easy to learn but it's very powerfull.
Popdog_fonts The font that I used in the Demon Attack remake and on my site is the Ziperhead font from Popdog Fonts. Serious fonts for serious people!
Inkscape This is the software I used to vectorize the drawings on the scramble cabinet and then make the Paper scramble pdf.
W3schools When you want to know more about HTML, XHTML, CSS and stuff you can go to W3schools. I really learned a lot from this page.
