Re: A horror survival game for the VIC 20?

I was playing The Long Dark a few years ago and always thought it would be nice to see it translated into a Commodore.

Re: Games we want to see

I think the control situation would be rather clumsy but Tron and Discs of Tron would be nice to see using a joystick and keyboard (maybe better with a mouse?)

Re: VIC 20 Hardware Prototype

After looking at it - I suspect that Mike hit the nail on the head (in the original thread) and the keyboard is literally just that with hookup for the Datasette. The cord leads to the rest of the machine tucked away. Hate to think that thing is running on batteries or has the power cord fed through...

Re: Super Mario Bros for VIC-20

I am not a fan of SMB but respect the effort put into it. Shame it had to go down that way but it was inevitable.

Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

The manual artwork was supposed to be done last week from my last estimate. Still working on it... https://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d22/darkatx/laff_zps8cujurs5.jpg Hopefully, the artwork should be completed some time in the next week? This is clearly Ghislain's Magnum Opus and the manual is twice...

Re: ** Revision 2019 Invitation / Website

If one looks closely you might find a few inebriated Denial members in the pics.
This is the stuff hermits like me love since we live vicariously through the experiences of others. :P

Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

Not sure if this has been discussed, but will the game have an option to give me a party of pregens that already have some starting gear equipped? Kind of like the good old A-Team of classic Bard's Tale. That's a good question? Hmmm, Ghislain is there any room in the game for that? :::looks around ...

Re: Using Tiny MLX for VIC from Compute! Magazine

Oh that takes me back...yup had to type them in.
I had the last year on disk...so it spared me typing all the code in.
