WOW! Nice feature... you can drag the window corner and the ratio changes accordingly.

Thanks for having implemented this, it was one of XVIC flaws .

Alternatively, you can try a BASIC lister such as THIS ONE.

I know the feeling. I have eight VIC-20s that I keep in my kitchen cupboards and I still don't feel I have enough. I'm tempted to order another Mega Cart and keep it in a security deposit box. Same here. Six working VICs (one NTSC, five PAL of which two VC20 and one with the old motherboard). I fir...

Thank you very much TNT - as you read here, there's a bunch of us waiting for news from our (unofficial) Infocom guru... :D Some links to keep focused on this wonderful world of text adventures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infocom http://mit.edu/6.933/www/Fall2000/infocom/ http://infodoc.plover.net...

Yes, I'm one of the beta-testers helping TNT, who created a Z-machine interpreter for the VIC: with this, one can play virtually all the early Infocom gems, in their original splendor. See the original thread for more info. No updates about TNT's work since June, when he wrote that he was busy at th...

Thanks- the real reason why I prefer 40 columns is that this mode brings the VIC to the same level of computers where most text adventures were played. I wish that also Z-code adventures were in 40 cols, but a resizable screen width and height with default characters is OK anyway. BTW, TNT, where ar...

Job completed. As usual, please report bugs and/or problems. I didn't have much time to play-test it, but the conversion was made from the (tested) C64 version found in the Gamebase 64.

Have fun with it!

Use the mouse .

Nope, the Alps. They are much closer to the place where I live. Silvia and I were in Val Badia (Marmolada). Wonderful place to visit (we slept in Campill/Longiarù, which is the same place in German and Italian/ Ladin ). My grand-daddy was in the National Park in Abruzzo in his youth. He saw bears th...

...I found a letter to the editor on page 5 of issue 1 (Nov. 1983): http://sites.google.com/a/vic20.it/files/index/orion70/SA_Adv_secret_keys.png I tried this in Adventureland, and although I can't say if pressing 'V'+return the text scrolls faster, 'P'+return (then LOOK) has this effect: http://sit...

Hey Ravenxau, great games on your site. I think most of them are more fun than the average two-pages list in the type-in magazines .

BTW, it's only me or the downloads link to .htm files? You have to right-click the files, and rename them to game.prg... a little tricky, isn't it?

Congrats on your 20 line game. Great result for such a short code. The programming skills of you VIC guys always impress me .

Keep up the quality of this contest with new works!

orion70 is the hardest working man in the VIC-20 dev community today. This is utterly exaggerated. :D Done with the conversion, I'm currently play-testing the adventure, and waiting for the Sunday lunch with my fiancée's parents, who happen to have a scanner :wink: . Me too, see you next week :wink...
