Dear Vic friends, some good news: the car movement now is smoother and the difficulty has been balanced more. I'm rewriting other code so the other cars can move in a finer way too, for example. When all the work will be done, the new version will be available online; I'll try to do that asap. About...

Ok after some work (corrections, etc.) now there are 307 bytes available to improve the steering.

Just played this in VICE. Great work! The graphics are perfect for the VIC and I love the audio. I agree with orion70 that the controls are a bit twitchy, but I'll have to try it on real hardware to know for sure. thanks a lot for your feedback akator and for playing, glad you like it :) about the ...

And now comes the dilemma: in these period I'm experiencing some problems with the 1702, but now I think it's Vice to show the color combos I used a lot cleaner than on real hardware. So I'm thinking to use fewer color combos and to spend those bytes elsewhere, maybe giving the opportunity to speedu...

A little update: the download page, after the screenshots, now has a short ingame video (Vice+keys). EDIT: here's the url :mrgreen: http://www.nonsolo8bit.it/2017/09/19/nitrowheels-new-game-for-the-unexpanded-vic-20 EDIT2: Alessandro, forgot to say that you're probably right about the sensitivity.

Grazie Alessandro! Glad you like it :P I played it on a real Vic and with Vice: the best gaming experience in my case is with a joystick called "Albatros" (...yes with one "s") made in the 80s in Italy: at "nitrospeed" you hear Fred Astaire's tap dance thanks to its mic...

DigDug, Donkey Kong, Ms Pacman

Gorf, Myriad

to name just a few.

Yes, of course! I remember the ones by Atari being advertised on every magazine about home computers at the time here in Italy too, sometimes many pages per issue

I cannot stand gamepads. I guess that's because I grew up in the era of proper joysticks. It doesn't feel right to play any game from the joystick era on a gamepad to me (and I can't use them well). So I bought a cheap USB gamepad, opened it up and soldered a DB-9 connector to its control contact p...

Hi, I am wondering about which "nice" (subjective, of course) multicolor games ante y2k there are for our beloved Vic. Three that come to my mind atm are: Spiders of Mars (8k) imho its smoothness is really good! Miner 2049'er (cart) Krazy Kong (the one by Anirog) (24k) What are some multic...

Hi, when I play the games with Vice or other emulators I usually use an iBuffalo gamepad, a replica of the SNES controller; I find it a nice and cheap controller, but maybe there are good alternatives out there. What do you use and how do you rate your gaming experience?
Thanks, have a good day

Close :D I released a picture I did in FCBPAINT in the Oldskool Graphics Competition, you can see the live-recording here (with quite knowledgable commentary by Sir Garbagetruck, actually): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUm2LYOxpTY I will post the actual release/download later. Just got home from...

Thanks for the pictures and - sorry for being a little late - best wishes also to you!

Next images I guess will be about the coolest Vic 20 demo ever that you prepared secretely for the oldskool compo, isn't it?

Enjoy!

What... I'm envious!
