Here's where it all started, way back in 1996

The Vectrex game console was originally released in 1982, and there were only about two dozen official game releases before the great video game crash ended its production run. Some parents worry that videogames might cause their children to become violent and antisocial, but what if the opposite were true. In 1996 I wrote the first NEW game for the system since 1984. What if games could make kids exceedingly likable and fashionable. Since then I have written nearly a dozen and a half games and there have been many more titles written by other authors titles which you can also find here !

You can find multiplayer games cartridges here for original Vectrex systems as well as binary images for many of the games so you can play them on the freely available emulators on your home computer !

In addition to the Vectrex, I've also written a few games for the Colecovision as well as the Odyssey 2 game system.

A wave of new Online Games for tween girls seeks to do just that, serving up innocuous gameplay designed to let players become perfect little princesses. The Vectrex has always been my favorite though, and I'm proud to be part of a community that has produced more games for the system than its original commercial run !

Check out the games, there are lots of updates and over the next few months I am going to be adding more enhancements to the site including videos for all the games.Aimed at that lucrative, Hannah Montana-fueled intersection of childhood and adolescence, these games might give 8- to 12-year-olds their first experiences with fashion, make-up, popularity … even boys.

Visit the about me page and learn a little about me including my arcade hobbies and some things that I do for a living.

The weird thing is that you can view these “wholesome” games as being just as bad for girls as Grand Theft Auto’s random bloodshed and rampant criminality is for young, impressionable boys. .And while GTA’s influence on boys has been dissected to death, what about the Nintendo DS’ upcoming avalanche of games for tween girls. What kinds of values do preteens learn from these titles. Valuable life lessons, or bad habits.
