Over twenty games across eight years — filter by platform to explore Crowther's full output. Deep editorials on the flagship titles at flagship.html.
1983
The breakout hit. A platform game featuring a bank-robbing protagonist navigating screens of platforms, keys, and enemies. Hit the UK charts and established Crowther as a chart regular. Followed by Son of Blagger (1985) and Blagger Goes to Hollywood (1985).
1983
A Pac-Man inspired maze game — one of several early Crowther titles demonstrating his ability to produce polished arcade adaptations at remarkable speed for the C64.
1983
A train-themed arcade game inspired by Sega's Super Locomotive. One of the first Crowther games to use an external composer — Ben Daglish wrote the music, beginning a lasting friendship and creative collaboration.
1984
A darker, faster spin on the train game concept. Futuristic, hard-edged, and considerably faster than Loco. Crowther's own SID score drives the relentless pace. Published by Gremlin Graphics, marking a new publisher relationship.
1984
A pogo-stick platform game with characteristic Crowther energy — tight, playable, and delivered at speed. Continued the Alligata partnership through the chart-busy mid-1980s.
1984
A prehistoric-themed platform game from the prolific Alligata period. Demonstrates Crowther's ability to produce varied, thematically coherent games at rapid turnaround.
1986
Based on James Cameron's 1986 film. A multi-section action game covering the film's key set pieces. Crowther's most ambitious licensed title — reviewed positively in Zzap!64. His SID compositions capture the film's atmospheric tension.
1988
Published by Electronic Arts — Crowther's most technically demanding collaboration with a major publisher. A hovercraft action game that met EA's quality bar and shipped on both C64 and Amiga. His most sophisticated C64-era production.
1990
Crowther's final major release and his most ambitious multi-platform project. A ghost navigates a haunted school across four platform versions. The four-platform simultaneous release marks his transition from bedroom coder to cross-platform developer.
1985
Sequel to Blagger. Clearly inspired by Manic Miner in its screen-by-screen structure, this expands on the original with new screens, enemies, and challenges. One of two direct Blagger sequels produced in 1985.
1985
The second Blagger sequel, set in Hollywood movie studios. Takes the familiar character into a film-industry setting across new platform stages. Crowther continued to extend the Blagger franchise while simultaneously producing other original titles.
