Game Dev by Day, Retro Tinkerer by Night

Post by misha »

Hello everyone!

I'm Michał, and I've been making video games professionally for over 25 years. I started as a hobbyist with the ZX Spectrum, then fell in love with the Amiga, and spent a few years actively involved in the PC demoscene. Professionally, I started as an artist and game designer, and over the years, I've co-created many games. Fun fact: we even made a game for the "modern" Atari VCS called Danger Scavenger

Nowadays, I work with cutting-edge hardware, always trying to push its limits. But in the past, I didn’t get a chance to play with everything I read about. So, almost 10 years ago, I got myself an Atari 65XE and later a Falcon - both of which I fully upgraded and repaired myself. Recently, my Atari family has grown to include a Lynx as well :-)

I joined the forum mainly for the TF4060 beta testing, but I actually made some purchases here years ago. Looking forward to some great discussions!
