Circa 1996 me and three of my junior high buddies developed games under the name Magical Hackers. We made the games exclusively in Qbasic, and among them were fine titles such as a space sim Star Wars-game, a shoot 'em up and others. 17 years later Magical Hackers rises from the ashes with me Daniel Jonsson as the head honcho. Andreas Skyman who is one of my childhood friends from back in the day has contributed to the company's first creation Mega Man 42. Magical Hackers focuses on retro style games at this time. Currently NES-style games, but in the near future we will branch out to other platforms such as arcade games, and eventually make modern games as well, in some cases with retro-inspired gameplay. Right now Magical Hackers consists of Daniel Jonsson, programmer, graphics artist and game designer and Dan Butler, composer and resident audio engineer.
