Retro Game Dev is a roadmap of about 50 games I will make. For each year since 1972, I’m picking a landmark game from that yeat and build my own version. I’ll go year by year, going through video game history.
For now, I’m just presenting the 1970’s decade:
| Year | Game |
|---|---|
| 1972 | |
| 1973 | Empire, Gotcha, Lunar Lander, Maze War, Space Race |
| 1974 | Gran Trak 10, Maze War, Qwak!, Speed Race, Tank |
| 1975 | Crash ‘N Score, Gun Fight, Hi-way, Indy 800, Steeplechase |
| 1976 | Breakout, Death Race, Heavyweight Champ, Night Driver, Sea Wolf |
| 1977 | Canyon Bomber, Combat, Street Racer, Surround, Video Olympics |
| 1978 | Atari Football, Avalanche, Fire Truck, Sky Diver, Space Invaders |
| 1979 | Asteroids, Galaxian, Head On, Lunar Lander, Monaco GP |
For each year, I choose over a list of 5 games, hence the long list. When a game is available for playing, I provide a link to it and all the 4 other games are striked-out.
This project is open source, and available from the GitHub repository.
