About Press Play on Tape

Press Play on Tape is a collaboration between two old-school gamers. There is nothing we like more than a simple but addictive game like those we grew up with and played on our Commodores and Apples.

Our games are all open-source and target two platforms that embrace this culture: the Arduboy and the Pokitto. The Arduboy is a very limited device with a black and white, 128 x 64 pixel screen and minimal memory. It is these limitations that make developing for it so challenging. How do you create an interesting game with such limitations?

The Pokitto ups the ante a little with a 220x176 pixel, 256 colour screen and more memory. This extra capability allows us to enhance the games though often it is a struggle to stop feature-creep and focus on completing the game!
