What is Pilsbry?

Pilsbry is the label under which I, Arganoid, sometimes (well, rarely) release PC shareware/freeware games.

Why is it called Pilsbry?

My nickname at school was 'Pilsbry', after the Pillsbury Dough Boy. The person who most often used this name wasn't any good at spelling, so he left off the 'u' in Pilsbury.

What's happening at the moment?

Not much. Working at Frontier doesn't leave much time for writing my own games, although there are still one or two projects I may do at some point.

What things has Pilsbry created in the past?

Atari ST (click here for more details and downloads)
  • Skyfighter (crappy 2 player shoot 'em up, written by Clive Scammell)
  • Skyfighter Fighter (another crappy 2 player shoot 'em up)
  • Airfighter (ditto, written by Clive Scammell)
  • ARG-ST (disk magazine)
  • The ARG Megademo (lame but fun megademo)
  • And a module disk
    PC
  • TRON '97
  • Stupid Arena for Quake II
  • PaRTiTioN SeCToR - The ultimate PC Bomberman game

    Work not in progress
    These games were once planned, but are unlikely to be finished in the forseeable future.
    • DEATH - arena-based shoot 'em up. Currently on hold indefinitely, unlikely to ever be finished.

    Non-Pilsbry games

    I am a game designer/programmer for Frontier Developments Ltd. Here are some of the things that I have worked on, or am working on:

    Misc Downloads

    DownloadDescriptionSize
    tron97.zipTRON 97: My first ever PC game, written in Microsoft Quick C - not a good compiler for writing games, but was all I had at the time. On modern PCs, tends to run very badly, being either unplayably fast or unplayably slow, if it works at all.154Kb
    redalert.zipSome multiplayer Red Alert maps I made back in '97. Some are good, some are not so good, some are just a bit of fun. There are 11 maps in this tiny ZIP file.29.6Kb
    arganoid.zipThe ARGANOID patch for Quake 1. A cool patch which tweaks Quake's gameplay, with the purpose of making it twice as fun... Single player and deathmatch.138Kb
    smelly.zipThe SMELLY patch for Quake 1. This was the first Quake patch I wrote. When you run it, your character will suddenly develop severe body odour. This will have a very interesting effect on the game... Single player only.123Kb
    argdem2.zipA fun demo for Quake 2.192Kb
    argdem3.zipThe 'remastered' version of argdem2...186Kb
    Stupid ArenaStupid Arena for Quake II - click to go to the homepage.N/A

    Note that the text files supplied with these things are very old and out of date...

    If you download any of this shite, mail me. It'd be nice to know if anyone actually looks at this page.

    If for some strange reason you want the source code to the Quake patches, that can be arranged.
