Thanks!. Yes, I saw it. When he mentioned he was going to try Prince of Persia in the Atari 400 mini, I thought he might mention the VIC-20 version. And he did, and also showed a short video of it

Cheers

You might as well incorporate a shortcut key that lets NTSC players re-center the screen or even better, just have the game autodetect the video mode and then position the screen accordingly. I guess I can do both. I will initialize it with the correct values depending whether it is PAL or NTSC (fo...

Well Done!

Thanks darkatx!,

yes, it is nice to see how much our VIC-20 is capable of...

Great game, Huffelduff.

Fully agree that it makes you really feel the speed. Maybe too demanding with the tires? (so far I haven't been able to finish a race without bursting them )

Nice detail the Team selection screen. The colourful car reminded me the old F1 Benetton team...

Congratulations! I am following VIC 20 games since 1982. For the system this is the best conversion of a game from far more powerful computers ever written. There. I said it. 😂 The beauty of retro computing is, that there seems to be no ending to surprises like this, year for year. Thank you! Thank...

I just found out about this game on Youtube... thank you! WHAT AN AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT Thanks! I was able to convert the screen centering to NTSC as follows: LOAD"LOADER.PRG",8 POKE 7169,0 POKE 7174,13 SAVE"@0:LOADER.PRG",8 While the the size of the screen is just a little bit to...

Hi, I have uploaded a new version (1.3) with some fixes/corrections: - When hit from tiles falling from the ceiling, kid was only loosing a live if standing below. Now, the only way to avoid loosing a life is to crouch - Increased dificulty of sword fighting. Now a quick delay is set after attacking...

Super very good work!! Thanks! I downloaded pop 1.2, I notice of you hold Fire when running, the release direction but maintain hold Fire , Kids continues run (i do not think it's the night behaviour). You are totally right. It happens as you describe, and no, that is not the right behaviour. I hav...

yes, it would have been great to have the 'Prince' drawn in multicolor mode (using three colors as the C64 version), but the losse in resolution, didn't worth it (IMHO). Using Hires allows a very recognizable aspect, even in just Black & White. I think you made the right call there. Thanks. Yes...

This looks fantastic! The wall perspective suits the hardware and hides the wide pixels nicely. Good choice to use hires. Thanks! yes, it would have been great to have the 'Prince' drawn in multicolor mode (using three colors as the C64 version), but the losse in resolution, didn't worth it (IMHO)....

This is quite something. I loved the C64 port, but this is even more staggering. Does it use the original Apple II 6502 code like the C64 port did? Thanks Mayhem, no, I didn't use the original code. I downloaded it to have a look, but I'm terrible at interpreting what other have done, even with cod...

Just uploaded a new version to fix another bug reported in the VIC-20 FB group. As pointed out there, problem is that I wasn't initializing a zero page address I'm using. After a normal reset it is 0 (what is OK with the game) but it takes a different value if any BASIC statement is used, provoking ...
