Re: The Innuh's pyramid

Seems like a fun little game! Thanks! My pleasure! It has been great fun working on this one and btw I could contact yesterday the original author of the typein program that was amused by the fact that this little game is still played today.

Re: Alien Invasion

Thank you, orion70!
Two days ago, Alien Invasion was tested by the son of a couple of friends, a 5-years old kid who really enjoyed it. I was so happy about that!

Re: Cavern Explorer

Thank you orion70.

And thanks to Gorf, too: I was really curious to know if the game was OK on an NTSC machine. It should play a little faster than on the PAL hardware and so it is a little more difficult.

Re: Weird mod on underside of board

If it can be useful, here is a picture of my PAL VIC-20, modified for S-VIDEO output displayed on a Sony PVM CRT monitor

Re: Alien Invasion

Thank you! I wanted to write something similar to Space Invaders, but much faster, almost as Arcadia, but with a much more gradual increase of the difficulty and the speed (Arcadia is too difficult for my skills).

Re: Alien Invasion

Hi, thank you for your suggestion, I'll think about it for my future games.

I realized I begun to play this game with my left hand on the Z and X keys, indeed, and I stuck to that... 8)

Re: Introduce Yourself: What's your User Name based on?

Hi to all, this is my first post here.

My name comes from a nickname I got in the high school years.
My first name is Davide and someone once mistakenly called me Darwin and it stuck :)

My mother got a second hand VIC-20 around 1985 and I was immediately hooked.
