This is a screen from GEOS running on a Commodore 64. The 6 purple icons are programs that I wrote in geoAssembler that run on the Commodore 64 or 128. geoGlyph (my most recent work), geoMimic, MIND, SuperMIND, Hazard! and geoComix. I also created a font for GEOS called Who Font. Also I present "The Runner", a comic book I drew in geoPAINT.

Hazard, MIND and SuperMIND were published by LoadStar Disk Magazine in the early 1990s. geoMimic and geoComix are shareware and freely distributable, as are the Who Font and "The Runner".

My new project for the first quarter of 2009! - geoGlyph. Click the Desk Accessory to learn more.

** NEW! - And now you can download GEOS for the Commodore 64 and for the Commodore 128 for free here!

VICE, the Commodore Emulator is awesome! It emulates the C64, the C128 (with both screens), the Vic 20 and a couple of other Commodore machines!

But you'll need Star Commander to convert disks to work properly!

• In the mid 80s, I loved my Commodore 64. In 1986 or so I found GEOS, and used it to create a 7 page comic book in geoPAINT. Using that, I won Berkeley Softworks' (the makers of GEOS) Desktop Publishing Contest in the Open Design category. With first prize came a bunch of great Commodore hardware, including a 512K RAM Expansion, a 1351 mouse, a 1200 baud modem. Also, I got all of the GEOS software, including geoAssembler. The winning entry, a comic book named "The Runner" as well as a six-page second issue is available for viewing here.
  
  
• I bought a GEOS Programmers' Reference Guide and started work on geoMimic. I started with a graphical image of the UI, and wrote the game around that. geoMimic was a Simon game, basically. But for some reason this simple program would not work.
  
  
• Not long after, I came up with the idea to do a Choose-Your-Own-Path comic adventure program. At the time I had a GEOS utility that converted MacPaint programs to geoPAINT. I sketched the images for the comic in line-art, scanned it on a Mac and shaded it in geoPAINT, using paint brushes I created myself. geoComix was born. I learned so much from that experience that I took another look at the geoMimic code and had it running in 10 minutes.
  
  
• Then I submitted geoMimic to LoadStar Magazine. They didn't want it, but they did like MIND, a Mastermind program. They liked it so much, they published a larger version of it called SuperMIND with 5 columns. Then later they commissioned me to write Hazard!, a Minesweeper-type game.
  
  
• I recently found all of my games on the internet, and used the VICE Commodore Emulator to get it running again.
