You probably know who I am, but if you don't I've been messing around with retro software since before it was retro. I started with the TI-99/4A in the mid 80's and never really stopped.

My prime interest was making games but I ended up making a lot more tools instead. My most well used tool would be Classic99 - a TI-99/4A emulator with permission from Texas Instruments to include ROMs.

My most widely publicized product was probably my fully licensed Dragon's Lair for the TI-99/4A, the culmination of a good decade of experimentation in graphics conversion. (It's no longer available due to the license expiring.)

I've many, many other projects - some full featured releases, and some merely experiments. I've shared as many as I could here. My license is not fully open, but in general you just need to ping me if you want to reuse something.

In the unlikely event we hit this, I will work full time on these projects, instead of just whenever. That means things like Classic99v4 can reach maturity, and we'll do a subscriber Discord or something like that. We don't have to reach the goal for me to appreciate you though!
