Best Space Invaders / Pac Man Games and Clones

Post by StarshipUK »

Can anyone recommend the best Space Invaders and Pac Man games and clones for the VIC20?

I have found a few on my Behr Bonz and Mega-Cart, but it would be good to know what other people think are the best or most interesting versions and clones (preferably games which are on these carts).

I think the best Pac-Man type game is Robert Hurst's Quikman (Quikman 8k - 2009 specifically). See here for more information/downloads and make sure you don't have anything to do for a few hours. :)
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

All suggested games are on your Mega-Cart :wink:

About pacman clones I loved Cosmic Cruncher, even if the best one remains Rhurst's Quickman... Avenger is surely the best space invader clone
No one should tolerate death and violence because tolerance will generate habit.

I don't know but Alien Blitz is not too bad, I prefer it for example :wink:

... and I watched you dominate Omega Race on a YouTube video, so you know I am waiting anxiously for you to do the same with Omega Fury, eh? :P
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
