Hi, I'm Igor

I've created these games (and some more mini games)

Frosya the Cat (early 2002)
JSW: Zx Heroes (late 2002)
Ultimate Manic Miner (early 2006)

Mini games:
Lena vs Margo (mid 2006)
Marina the firequest (early 2007)

It was a great time, being part of the JSW/MM scene in 2001 – 2007 (in a yahoo! group)

Today Daniel Gromann has released a bug-fixed version of my first JSW game and I've experienceed so much nostalgia that it made me totally stuck, replaying and thinking of that awesome period of time. Jet Set Willy was an epoch of my life (16 – 22 y.o)

Ask me anything!

Hi Igor!

I had played Frosya the Cat, it was a long time ago, though, I don´t remember much, but I liked it. 🙂 

Thank you for sharing the photos! Frosya itself is seen in the first picture? 🙂 Those are really good drawings, well coloured, too!

Yes, and here is Frosya with her kittens in real life: the main heroes of the game.

Thanks for posting the photos, Igor! Frosya was a beautiful cat, indeed! 🙂

I hope the nostalgia will make you create more JSW games. Since there's no JSWED for Mac at the moment, you could get a cheap PC - it could really be an old, obsolete machine, JSWED doesn't require modern parameters - and use it just to design new games 🙂 .
