Welcome to the official website of Egghead and Haunted House

This website is themed around the Haunted House and Egghead games for the ZX Spectrum.

Here you can find information about the author of those games (that's me), and stuff about some of the many games I have written for the machine since the late 1980s. If you had a Spectrum in the early 1990s, chances are you've played at least one of them.

I'm still developing indie software for the machine, so there are a few new Spectrum games and the occasional playable demo to download here - if you like them then why not visit the Cronosoft website where you can buy brand new games for old computers? Contrary to what you might think, 8 bit computing is still very much alive!

You can also find my document on how to write Spectrum games here.

Izzy's Zombie Shuffle, thanks to Tommy Pereira. He dances like this in real life. Honestly he does, he's like an octopus in a blender. No, really.

This site is a former member of the Spectrum WebRing. As you can see, they're not terribly fussy about who is allowed to join, though they occasionally kick people out without warning. Apparently. Anyway, if you think this website's a mess you should see my back garden. Or something.
