When I was eight, the only thing I was building were forts made out of couch cushions. I was nowhere close to building my own video games "“ as one 8-year English boy named Ross has begun doing under the name Thunder and Lightning Games.

I can't say for sure how good his game Alien Black Hole is, but how can you not try it after reading the letter on his website:

My name is Ross, I am 8 and I make games using Game Maker. My cousin made this website so that people can play my games.

My first game is called Alien Black Hole. In it a black hole is trying to chase your alien. You have to get to the exit before it kills you.

If you like my game, you can send me a donation to say thank you. I am saving for a laptop so I can make more games. Also I want to pay an artist to make art for my next game.

If you donate £5 or more I will send you the full version of Alien Black Hole with extra levels! If you want to say what you think you can email my dad.

Bye for now,

Ross.
