January, 1987:

TORCH (unexpanded VIC): Move to the right, avoiding the ghosts. From level 5 upwards there will be pseudo-ghosts.

BOMBERMAN (+3K): A one-player Bomberman-clone. Destroy the balloons to advance to the next level. Push F3 to start each level, F1 to pause.

As before... any credits for Cooky and Wostok?

And I can't get Wostok or Fight Night to work properly after transferring the PRG files to disk. Wostok fills the screen with black repeatedly until game over, and Fight Night seems to mis-load the second part of the game and merges it weird.

Just tried both on my VIC and uIEC. Worked fine. Please note that Wostok automatically loads from drive 8 (see line 5 of wostok2.prg) and for Fight Night you have to manually load the second part, since there was no memory left for auto-loading it.

Yeah... I don't think I've got the third part of Wostok loading correctly, what should the file name be called? WOSTOK3? WOSTOK3.PRG? WOSTOK3.DAT? I've tried all of those without success. Note that I'm running it as a D64.

As for Fight Night, I'll make it a TAP then instead.

The third file should be called wostok3.dat - but it has to be as SEQ-file. You can just use wostok-gen.prg to generate that file on disc, though.

Also I killed the REM-statement out of FightNight to make it able to load from disk. Please give it another try. I replaced the .zip-file.

The VDrive in VICE and SD2IEC ignore the filetype (PRG, SEQ, USR) for hosted directories, but not within a disk image.

Cheers... yes, lack of knowledge that it had to be a SEQ file vital there

Wow, that's a pretty shameless rip-off of BC's Quest For Tires:

Wow! some of these games don't seem to be type-ins.

Are you kidding me? A Marble Madness clone??!

It's pretty bloody hard.
Also, the ball movement is not very smooth

Some nice screen effects though.
