#12I made games when I was 13 years old. They are for Windows 98 and in German, but they should still be playable nowadays: http://www.benibela.de/games_en.html

#13Rollercoaster Tycoon - By Chris Sawyer. 99% written in x86 assembly. Imho, the most impressive example of a game of its magnitude, by a single dev.

#19Few years ago my brother threw a beer on my iPhone in an Amsterdam bar. The poor thing didn't like the Dutch brew as much as I do: it died. While waiting for a new phone to arrive, I used an old one that couldn't do anything but texting, calling and... Snake!
I decided to try and develop an accurate remake myself - it changed my live!
I wrote a post detailing much of the experience, 30M downloads and counting:
