Have you got a C64 to try it on? That would at least show it works at all. Also, are you definitely running the correct file browser file? I think the one called FB is the one that detects the correct one, and if that is the first file in the directory you can just do the usual LOAD "*",8 ...

This is great news. Thanks Ian and Simon.
I've just seen the PMs. I'll email you after work.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Fingers crossed that we can get this archived for the future. It would be a shame if one of the 16k commercial releases was lost to time.

To quickly get to part 2 you could add line 2 to do a goto 337 and remove everything before the THEN part so it just loads part 2, though I don't know if it will need things to be in place for it to work properly. It might be better to do something like this: Run the D64 and press N on the Part Adve...

Is there any known effect that could be done with Audacity to clean up the WAV file? I'l guessing the recording it just a load of low/high volumes or pitches that are essentially a 1 or a 0. I noticed this morning that the film Mysterious Island was on TV (based on Jules Verne's novel, like the game...

Thanks again Ian. I only saw your PMs, so did't see this till now.

It sounds like side 1 might be the loader, part 1, then part 2 (the main bit I need), then side 2 is the trainers, as it mentions the "practice tape" in the instructions, so that's probably all of side 2.

Does anyone have a full version of this game? It was by Jim Sheehan/Mr.Micro from 1982 for 16k expanded Vics. I owned it at the time, but now I don't have the tape and all the versions I've found online are either a D64 with two files (a loader and the main program), or just the two files as separat...

The versions I've tried are from a download (set up for the SD2IEC) I got after getting my SD2IEC (a D64 and two PRGs for this game are in it), and I tried the one I have in Gamebase (D64). To try it ,if you go south, then left at the crossroads, then north at the next, you will find a flamethrower ...

Brilliant!

Nice avatar. I was playing Vic-20 Salmon Run a few days ago. I stuck it on YouTube.

That's excellent! I've been working my way through all the Vic-20 games I can play on my real hardware, and it's been bothering me that there are a lot of great games that are only on cart that I can't play from my SD card with only having a 16k expansion. I'll give these a go. Thanks. [edit] I've j...

I tried SAVE"ALIEN.PRG",8,1 but it didn't work on reload (unless I messed it up somehow). It does strange things. First there isn't a basic listing, but after you run it and break it there is, but it gives a syntax error on the first line (basic listing protection?), but listing 10- lists ...

I've been playing through all the Vic-20 games I can on my Vic with an SD2IEC (I only have up to 16k, so can't play the carts on the real thing). I've been through the un-expanded, 3k, and I'm now on the 8k games. I got to Alien Demon, and since I'm such a big fan of the Alien films (it's where my u...

I've put mine in
There's a C64 one that I put my C64s in a few years ago (http://c64preservation.com/dp.php?pg=registry). I think I looked for a Vic-20 one at the time.
I'm not sure if there's an Amiga one, but if these is I might have done that, too.

Since I've been playing Key Quest this week and noticed I have a decent score, I thought I'd update the Wiki High Score page. I tried to login, but it says my username doesn't exist. I assume it's a different ID for the Wiki and forum, but I can't see a way to create an account. Can anyone help, or ...

Thanks for the info Mayhem. I don't have a Commodore one (like the VIC-1110), so no option there. It's annoying that I have the game, the computer and the RAM expansion, but I still can't play a lot of games. I'll have to keep emulating it :( At least I got a decent score last night (well, 36,697 se...
