I like the beta skip level feature for testing.

Level 17 has graphic corruption of the player and the 4th Hexagon with character redraw.

you should have just released a 3-level "shareware" demo, to build the anticipation of the final release

I remember programming a friends vic20 to flash random border/screen color combinations and play random music tones. His father thought it would blow up the computer and damage the TV - ahhh.....good times

Back "in the day", a friend and myself would come up with game & watch concepts, It was our dream to implement the ideas on an unexpanded vic and send them to nintendo to make our fortunes! - Unfortunately, neither of us at the time had the programming skills to make it happen. After r...

Hello, I am looking to return to my original Vic-20 after a gap of over 20 years.

How was this done?

another great game jeff - amazing the game execution speed you get in basic - and that you work so well in the unexpanded environment

It just suddenly hit me! Some may still be confused as to why Frogger's protagonist cannot touch the water without dying.

cool - kinda like the 256 byte demo scene for the pc - but specially adapted for the vic (or c64). I'm in - just gotta come up with a good idea now
