Re: Young Arthur's Quest
I want to say I already had this, but in the current WIP of GB20 I have locally and not released to public yet. But good to get it out there. Yes, I've checked the GB20 prior to this, it was on the list but the file was missing. Probably you also have the C64 version, the one with 22 column convert...

Re: Young Arthur's Quest
Thanks Mike. I wanted to share these games I found, but at the same time, I felt like I was crowding them out among the great games. I agree with you about that Collecting and History will be a more suitable place for these posts.

Young Arthur's Quest
Another lost VIC-20 adventure game released in 1982 by RBI Software. I know, they are not very interesting and this time some might have preferred me not to recover the file but I am just doing this for preservation purposes. I’ve found the C64 file that is also converted from VIC-20 version like th...

Oldorf's Revenge, Wizard 1
While skimming old adventure games and found Jack and the Beanstalk for VIC-20, I have realized that the Oldorfs Castle on Zimmers is actually Oldorf's Revenge, Wizard 1 by Highlands Computer Services released in 1980 for Apple II. https://bluerenga.blog/2019/08/26/oldorfs-revenge-1980/ It was never...

Jack and the Beanstalk by Victory Software
I have noticed that there was a tiny adventure game named Jack and the Beanstalk for unexpanded VIC-20 when I was looking at old adventure games. But its file is missing, I couldn't find it anywhere. It is a part of Adventure Pack I released by Victory Software in 1982. https://bluerenga.blog/2022/0...

Re: Another ram expansion? Yes it is
The display routine of the VFLI graphics mode already does the latter: the bitmap utilizes $0600..$1FFF (i.e., 6.5 KB!) to display the 208x256 pixels and it switches the character generator base mid-screen from $0400 to $1000 to achieve this. I have realized that you already explained the matter in...

Re: Another ram expansion? Yes it is
Thanks Mike, I get it now. It is not only a matter of access then. It is related to timing, or state of the VIC access. I also saw your vfli mod, what you did there is superb, so you place 3k on the VIC side with hw mod. Is it possible to add more ram this way, i mean, can we add other blocks on the...

Re: Another ram expansion? Yes it is
Hi, this is really amazing. There are many ram/rom expansions out in the wild, but most of them suffer from two problems ( IMO ). First, it use the expansion port, so without a port expander, your port is 'dedicate' to it. Secondly, it use dip switches to choose the amount of ram or rom slot to use(...
