Re: Amidar game

It's also downloadable in a single D64.

All games are worth trying, very professionally made.

Re: Thank You

I subscribed to several forums in the last two or three lives, and must say I'm impressed by how superior this is in terms of Benutzerfreundlichkeit :mrgreen:

Re: 3D Monster Maze for the VIC20 (zx81)

Ok, I'll patiently wait to see it released in the wild. Actually, I don't see the Penultimate as a probable purchase.

Re: 4,000+ programs VIC-20 listings

Re: 3D Monster Maze for the VIC20 (zx81)

Do I get it correctly that there will be one in the near future? The VIC version is not in the store yet.
