20 Squares

Windows - Released - August 1, 1995

20 Squares is a shareware computer conversion of an Ancient Egyptian board game, probably dating back even before the pyramids.

The rules can also only be guessed, but the game is probably very similar to Senet, another Egyptian board game with 30 squares instead of twenty, and it seems to have come from a Sumerian board game . The game is a simple "race and bump" game. You race down the board with your five tokens, trying to get them home before your opponent does. You...

3D Chess

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Released - 1983

This is a modified version of the old Psion Chess program - I got bored with the "newspaper" style 2D representation, and wrote a snazzy (well, I thought so) 3D perspective graphics routine and bolted it onto the Psion program, removing the old display routine in the process. It still plays exactly the same game of chess as the original, however.
