About the work

Made by Thomas Patierno.

This is one developer's living catalog of games, utilities, and internet-sized experiments.

The remake collection began with a simple idea: old software shouldn't disappear just because its original device moved on. Each web edition is rebuilt from the real Objective-C source and original assets, preserving the feel while making the games easy to play again.

Alongside the archive, Thomas continues to build focused tools and curious products—small pieces of software with a clear point of view.
