Absolutely amazing!!
I spent many hours playing the C64 version and now look forward to playing it on (I can't believe I am saying this) my VIC-20
Congratulations.

Would this be the same parallel cable that connected to a centronics printer?

Thanks - very useful

My copy seems ok... 900 gt=gt+tg:print"this game:";tg:print"total:";gt:ifgt>2499999thenprint"you win" 901 iftg>499999andd<101thenprint"continue?":inputb$:goto11 These are the last lines of the program. Maybe after playing, something overwrites the end somehow?

The games themselves were not problematic, just the odd behavior of the combined files. It should have been a straight forward task - and usually is - to amend the loader, pointing BASIC to where the second part should reside. After the load has finished, point BASIC back to its usual starting place...

Just VICE emulator.

Had a lot of unusual trouble converting these. Tried the .tap files and all seemed OK so made them all one-filers and saved to disk. Went through them all again and some wouldn't work. Then Butterfly refused to load from .tap so had to resort to files from Barney's converted disk. Tap Clean won't wo...

......one year later!!! Although the instructions were on the disk, this seemed to confuse people as to what the game actually was. Vic-20-Ian was correct about it being a 'Pic-Cross' type puzzle. This was a popular puzzle printed in some UK newspapers, along with sudoku and the like. The puzzle was...

Works OK for me in the UK.
Over $23 for shipping though... ouch!

Try it like this:- ; 10 SYS (5120) *=$1001 BYTE $0E, $10, $0A, $00, $9E, $20, $28, $35, $31, $32, $30, $29, $00, $00, $00 MAP = [start of map data] SCRN = 7680 *=$1400 jsr defchr jsr drawmap rts defchr ; redefine char memory lda #255 sta $9005 rts drawmap lda #<SCRN sta $fb lda #>SCRN sta $fc lda #<...

See if these work on the real hardware. All one filed on a .d64.
There were a couple that started off OK but went into NTSC land when restarting, so I fixed them to be PAL/NTSC friendly.
Enjoy.

No.

I've one-filed the +3k version for you to include if you so wish.

It seems that this one-file version does not zero the high-score upon initialization.
I've hacked the code so that it does.

New file in original post.

I watched OldSkoolCoder do this: Tutorial 38 : Ep 01 - Reverse Engineer Myriad VIC 20 (6502) and saw that the graphics in the game were corrupted. I checked my 3k version and it was fine. I checked the 8k version from zimmers and the one in GameBase 20; both showed signs of corruption. Bad text .......

There was only 7 bits of data in line 204 which caused all the graphics after this line to be corrupted.
I fixed this and tried the game and it looks OK now (fingers crossed).
