WIP: the Mystery of Silver Mountain

Hello all. I just bought the manual of this Usborne Adventure, which makes a trio with Dungeon of Doom from "Write Your Own Fantasy Games" and the Island of Secrets . It's very well done, and resembles IoS in graphics and design (comic style, map, and fully illustrated story). I will scan ...

Someone could tell which ones were devoted (also) to the VIC-20? I would like to download only those with content related to our beloved machine... Except for Microadventurer, of course. :mrgreen:

Thank you.

Sorry to dig up an old post, but I read through most of this thread and I am very interested in the game. I was surprised to see the Sorcery thread resurrected :D . You know, it's my first love (look at the avatar...). If you're interested into the map of dungeon B , I updated the links. Has there ...

Impressive list of games! The concept of "game self-service" was revolutionary, way ahead of its times... ROMOX Not only sold and distributed their own titles for various systems, they also invented an new technology called "Electronic Software Distribution" (something we now tak...

E se invece lo trasformassimo in un blog sul VIC-20, di quelli commentabili? Chiunque potrebbe scriverci, anche in forma anonima, commenti agli articoli messi da noi e ovviamente potremmo moderarlo per eliminare trollaggi vari... Invece di fare un sito con sezioni e sottosezioni, un bel blog con sin...

In particolare, sono stati fixati i seguenti b...

Thanks to one of the available programs which turn the VIC to a 40 column mode. Don't know many details, someone else will be able to explain how this can be done.
