Re: 8 New games from a Japanese developer Inufuto

Awesome! From what I've seen (watching the vids), they look quite good and fun. Kudos to the programmer(s).
It's wonderful see more new home-brew games still being made for the good 'ol Vic-20.

Re: For new users - make a post or say hello

@fraural and @Rich

Welcome aboard. This seems like the place to be for Vic-20 fans. I'm still new-ish here myself, but I've already learned a lot from browsing and interacting on these forums and I even went ahead and recently made a new-retro Vic-20 game.
Stick around, explore and enjoy. Cheers!

Re: Treasure-Seeker (available now!)

<snip> Thanks for the good feedback and I'm happy that you like it. I do agree with the suggestion you mention of adding to the challenge / re-playability. I did want to try to add to the challenge in some way as the Player progresses onto new maps. Though a main roadblock in my trying to add in su...

Re: Treasure-Seeker (available now!)

Game updated to v1.6: ​Certain parts of game-play a bit quicker now and when accessing camp / buying items or when placing TNT. I've tweaked the map generation a bit too (when placing the rocks, so things should hopefully be more 'consistent' with about how 'thick' the rock-field in general is per a...

Re: Best option to connect one Vic-20 to an HDMI monitor?

This topic reminded me of a video I recently watched on YouTube where a guy manages to connect an old Atari 2600 to a 4K screen TV, with the use of a couple of adapter thingies and a VCR, and so it looks like could use HDMI (after running through the according adapters and VCR) to connect to his TV....

Re: The "Cursed VIC20" - A repair job I've hit the wall with

Welcome aboard (and I'm still somewhat new around here myself).

I think the GIF you posted of them trying to get rid of the evil-spirit from the 'Cursed Vic20' motherboard is hilarious. :lol:
Good luck with your repairs of the 'Cursed Vic20'.
