- The Complete Cornutopia Game Bundle Released - 24 February 2026
A new bundle went live today! The Complete Cornutopia Game Bundle contains all of the Cornutopia Games released on Steam so far. I've been making games since 2001 and constantly updating and remastering them with new graphics, new sound, and new capabilities for the latest computers. The bundle includes the latest version of all of these Cornutopia Games: Radioactive, Yinyang, Flatspace, Taskforce: The Mutants Of October Morgane, Gunstorm, Future Pool, Gunstorm II, Future Snooker and Flatspace IIk. I dream of remastering some of the other games that (at time of writing) aren't available anywhere, but this is getting harder and harder these days. All of my games use my own engine and 3D format, graphics painstakingly made old school style, but perhaps one day I'll have the time and resources to revive my other games. This bundle is a 'complete the set' type, so you only pay for what you…

Hello Strategy Masters!

A squad-level turn based game where a group of soldiers must battle the evil October Morgane. Radioactive is a turn based game (with real time elements) for 1 to 4 players based on an old principle of selecting a unit, setting the angle and power and trying to obliterate the enemy.
