With the Micromys V5-adapter you could also add mouse-support to the VIC-20-version:

This device allows you to connect PS/2-mice to the VIC-20 and as the documentation says:

"While the original 1351 mouse will not work with the VIC-20, this mode will. It works the same as the 1351 mode at the C-64. This is the default (and recommended) mode for VIC-20."

Also yours would be the first game to support this

It's the Micromys V5 that I have bought. But adding support for it in the vic-20 version would be quite different because the c64 version uses a sprite (and actually Commodore's own mouse driver).

I didn't realise the C64 had 'drivers' ?

It's on the disk that came with the 1351 mouse. Maybe it's not called a driver but it's a routine letting you easily use the mouse, one version for the c64 and one for the c128... sounds very much like a driver

For sure the routine in question can be categorized as driver! It interfaces to a certain hardware, runs in the background, and it is *not* statically linked into a certain client program but works with essentially arbitrary applications that want to inquire the mouse co-ordinates.

I put together my own version of the driver here:

Advantages over the original:
* One file instead of three which means your basic program won't be dependent of external files.
* The sprite is put in the tape buffer instead of in the middle of the basic memory (which gets overwritten by a big program).
* Includes basic example of reading coordinates and mouse clicks.
* Auto detection if the mouse is connected or not.
