TommyGun is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for creating games and other software for old 8 bit computers. It is a modular and open ended application that can support any type of computer. Although realistically speaking I'm limiting the application to 8 and 16 bit computers. It allows the user to create games for their prized vintage or retro machines.
