Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

I could'nt get this latest Download to work ?!? The Intro comes up, you get the Countdown and then instead of the Game appearing, The Screen went Red and everything stopped ??? Just to let you know, for me the latest 1187 worked fine (played until the round8-killscreen using WinVICE). I agree, Aruk...

Re: The Perils of Willy Ending

Someone asked me how I solved the level before the last level, so I uploaded a video on how I did it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmKUR4j4uZk This is likely the most difficult room in the game and I have only managed to get past it by sacrificing one life. Similar to the person who asked me, I w...

Re: The Perils of Willy Ending

Looks like it's not the proper ending, is it the last screen? Did you succeed in collecting all the music 🎵? I'm pretty sure the games "ending" is that it just starts at level 1 again. :( From 0:03 to 2:51 in the video it shows the last level, I think its level 33?, and at 2:51 the game l...

The Perils of Willy Ending

The other day I said to myself, ok this is the day I will finish The Perils of Willy. I wasn´t able to find a longplay-video for the game and I was simply curious how the game ends. I started playing, got stuck at one level almost sure it wasn´t possible to complete the game (like jet set willy on c...

Re: Space Invaders / Connect-4

Great update Lechuck, I just tested it and the new soundeffects made the game even closer to the original arcade and generally more pleasent to play. Listening to other vic-20-ports of space invaders made me realise how important soundeffects are when playing this game. :D https://youtu.be/_Vofhs4yY...

Re: Were Vic Rally X & Vic Car Race ever really published ?

Love this kind of dedicated work. Oh man the music in Vic Rally X is even more annoying than in Radar Rat Race. :D But the gameplay is of course A+, classic game!

Not very good at it though, only 2570 points. :(

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

Have also tested it now... hard to beleive this is the ol' VIC20. :D When testing is with xvic, I ran into error "Main CPU: JAM at $2773. Start monitor? (No reset, cancel will continue)". This has happened when Vaus fetches a diagonal line that is dropped from the bricks. Known issue? http...

Re: Super Mario Bros for VIC-20

I just tried the "mario3" image; I like it! :D I wonder if SMB20 really is possible? Maybe a short stage without enemies? Keep up the good work Kakemoms!

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks absolutely amazing! Back in the days I wouldn't imagine this was possible on the vic20. Thank you Kweepa.

Also found a .TAP of Perils of Willy and Myriad in TOSEC collection... not sure if these are of any use.. but here they are..

Re: The Perils of Willy partially working

Looking at youtube-videos from this game, all seem to give extra life for every note collected, interesting. I'd also be very interested in a correct version of this game!
