What is Pilsbry?

Pilsbry is the label under which I, Arganoid, used to sometimes (well, rarely) release PC shareware/freeware games. Any future releases will happen under a different brand.

Why is it called Pilsbry?

My nickname at school was 'Pilsbry', after the Pillsbury Dough Boy. The person who coined this name wasn't very good at spelling.

Non-Pilsbry games

I worked on the following games as a designer/programmer at Frontier Developments:

Infestation - futuristic vehicle combat game for PC and Playstation
Dog's Life - game on the PS2 where you play the role of a dog. You can do a poo and pick it up and throw it at people.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked!, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Wild! - Expansion packs for RCT3.
Thrillville (I wrote the "Trojan Quest" minigame and worked on various other parts of the game)
Thrillville: Off The Rails (I wrote and designed the "Trojan Frenzy" and "Tank Frenzy" minigames and worked on various other parts of the game)
LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias (WiiWare)

tron97.zip	TRON 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.zip	Some 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.zip	The 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.zip	The 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.zip	A fun demo for Quake 2.	192Kb
argdem3.zip	The 'remastered' version of argdem2...	186Kb

Note that the text files supplied with these things are very old and out of date...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

Go back to the ARGnet index...
