Re: Need Vic20 Music/SFX

Wow, procedurally generated music! I've always been fascinated by "procedural worlds", which save memory and guarantee unlimited replayability, but never knew this could also be applied to music :D

Re: APPLE BUG

Yep it's a TAP file, you won't be able to load it with a standard SD2IEC equipment. Someone more skilled than me should convert it into a single PRG file, or two files on a D64.

Re: Amidar game

Nope, it's quite a strange game, no joystick control and needs full RAM to play it. I couldn't even get the Zimmer's repository file to run in any memory configuration TBH, only the one from the Italian site seems to be OK.

It's also downloadable in a single D64.

All games are worth trying, very professionally made.

Re: Thank You

I subscribed to several forums in the last two or three lives, and must say I'm impressed by how superior this is in terms of Benutzerfreundlichkeit :mrgreen:

Even now that my VIC 20s are getting dust on the shelf, I come back on a regular basis, and enjoy it.

Re: 3D Monster Maze for the VIC20 (zx81)

Ok, I'll patiently wait to see it released in the wild. Actually, I don't see the Penultimate as a probable purchase.
