I thought Perils of Willy was a very fine version when it came out, but I agree about the dreary music. Also that the levels are much less visually distinctive and not as well-designed. Overall, it lacks the pleasant atmosphere and almost mystical sense of wonder that Manic Miner provides. And, wow,...

Thanks for the update! I find your persistence and work discipline impressive (and inspiring!) Even though I am not a RPG-guy first and foremost, I find it super exciting to see projects such as this for the Vic 20, Nox Archaist for the Apple II, and Unknown Realm for the C64! Yours will probably be...

So do I, a must-have for sure

Yes, finished Speed Runner mode: 1946 p. Far from an optimized run though. But very satisfying to get hold of all the onions :) Not that hard when you have figured out the right order. But figuring out the optimal order is part of the game of course! The second world in Adventure mode, however, stil...

Best Christmas wishes to you and your dad, Pixel! The game looks amazing. It has that sharp and polished arcade quality about it - a quality that is so hard to get on a Vic, but the combination of hires and multi color works wonders here. Likewise, Beamrider certainly has a special knack for getting...

The purple and blue level :shock: It looks even better than the orange and red one - stunning! Like a multicolor Atari 800 game ... but with superior scrolling! Looks aside, the game impresses on all fronts. It should really receive a 95+ rating in Retro Gamer. Anything else would simply be unfair. ...

Managed only a short debut session tonight. Well ... we all know that it looks fantastic but now I am happy to report that It plays brilliantly too :D Easy Peasy ( I got 694 p) is a pleasant introduction (but still large enough that I momentarily got lost). The real game, however, begins with Speed ...

I've tried to play Sea Wolf and Pinball Spectacular on Vice too, but also can't get Alt-Q to work. My mouse cursor disappears but I don't get control of the game. Neither clicking nor moving seem to affect anything. I do own a pair of real paddles for my Vic but I've never gotten them to work propel...

An incredibly exciting addition to the Vic-20 game library :D I've never seen multi-directional scrolling like this on the Vic - not anything remotely close. I mean, even 4-way 8-pixel step scrolling is very rare. This is smooth, moves in all directions, has a sophisticated camera and a background l...

Yes, I made it :D Yes, the egg is the solution! (some spoilers below) It was an Eureka moment when I noticed that I was teleported in a non-random way after the "suddenly you feel a lurch of acceleration" message. Then I just had to drop the egg in the right room and plan my 2 routes (back...

I understand more of the mechanics now and have mangaed to escape back to earth. There I either: Get robbed and killed (If the piece rock is in its priceless state) Get killed (along with all other life on earth) by the comet a week later (if I have the egg in its rough state) Die of old age a week ...

I have made some progress but died when i tried to use the escape pod. I can't say that I completely grasp the logic of the strange device - Fire and Ice, before and after, protected and unprotected and there are new rooms, not just altered ones :? The egg and ball also mystifies my - as does the re...

Tricky I have no clue how to proceed and haven't got very far...
Had to consult a dictionary twice too, but that's fine - I like learning new English words!

While not as visually pleasing as IT CAME FROM THE GRAVE, Haunt plays very well (btw, R'zo's brilliant Exit Plan Z feels a little like an expanded hybrid of these two games). Before I read the instructions I was totally lost, but after reading them I found it a straightforward and clever concept! Pr...

Contrary to hasseapa, I find this version of IT CAME FROM THE GRAVE harder than version I played last fall. I only managed 8 pts after many attempts. But the increased difficulty (imaginary or not...) makes for an even more entertaing game as I found it a little too easy before 8) I definitely like ...
