Earn money with Android content. You know that are alternatives to Google Play, Samsung and Amazon? Many local net providers and tv-stations have their own portals. They started them, as Java was still all around. As Android is taking its place more and more, they are including now also this content. Using such channels has the benefit that you can distribute content via more channels; channels, where you have less competency and, if you are lucky, they will even do online or tv advertising for your apps.

The 80s are a treasure, if you are looking for new game ideas. It was the decade, where a single game designer still could create top titles, all by her or himself. One of these create minds was Paul Norman, musician and game designer. He was responsible for some unique titles, such as Super Huey, Aztec Challenge or Forbidden Forest. They not had been just great titles, but all of them had this very special atmosphere. This thanks to his graphic style, but also the music. All together a mile-stone for the C64.

And guess what, he is still active, so check out his page: http://www.waycoolway.com/digit/

Android: Strategic Defense

Strategic Defense is quite obvious a remake of Atari,s hit from 1980 ¨Missile Command¨. But nevertheless, the game designers around Soma have created a real treasure, which easily could be overseen in an app-store, as the game is not living from fancy graphics.

You really feel kicked back in time, as story is set in the cold war area and the player hast the role to protect the US cities from the Russian war heards. If you liked the movie ¨War Games¨, you will love Strategic Defense! Another detail from 80´s computer games celebrates a return: the interlude, as, for example, known from ¨Frantic Freddie. Here it is a FAX, together with an authentic 80´s printer sound.
