Stumbled upon this thread recently. I remember one of my favorite VIC-20 games back in 1986 was "Penco" - a Pengo clone from the german "64er Sonderheft 3/1986" (Commodore 64 paper mag special issue) A disk image of the programs of that issue can be found here and it includes Pen...

Elite Mock-up pic

I've been browsing this forum the last few weeks and this thread got my special attention. I think Elite would be do-able on the VIC-20 by converting the C64-version.
