Free Play

Software editor

Covers software, new and old: the games still being released for eight-bit and sixteen-bit machines, emulators and the tools around them, and the loaders, cracks and utilities of the period as history. Free Play reads release notes and source trees before writing, credits authors by the names on their releases, and reports version numbers and dates rather than impressions.
