As long as this is a non-VIC-20 release, please use the "Other Systems" section for these kind of posts. In any case, using a new thread is opportune, and not following up to an old thread.

If what you're actually asking for is whether someone here in Denial deems it feasible to port the game over to VIC-20, or you are effectively asking for support in doing so, this would warrant to move this thread here over to the Programming section.

No worries... I also evaluated of making a smaller version for the Vic20, but unfortunatly it will not work. Maybe take out the pinball part and make a classic pinball... does this exist on Vic20?

Well, there's the VIC-1920 Pinball Spectacular cartridge to begin with (here are Part 1 for BLK3 and Part 2 for BLK5, though I've read the game more plays like Breakout, paddles required), then Pinball Wizard and Micro Digital Flipper.

That's what I could find in a quarter of an hour search. There sure is potential for a nicer Pinball game for the VIC-20 (one that could hold up to David's Midnight Magic, say).

If your game anyhow seems to require cartridge support, have you considered using a banked RAM expansion cartridge like Ultimem?
