VIC 20 Games by Jeff-20

I've been going through my old disks, and I put together a page of my games. The link is:

http://sleepingelephant.com/denial/games/

Each files is zipped with instructions. I know a straight PRG would have been easier to handle, but some of the games need explanation. This is just a general thread to discuss/answer questions about any program without an existing thread.

I'll add more games as I dig them up. Trust me, there are more. Don't expect anything great. Some of these are really old, but Jason Compton suggested that I put together one place for all of my games. So blame him. Or better yet, blame the article in Retrogamer for blowing up my ego.

Ooooo lots of new worthy stuff to add to GB20

Out of interest, will the games from Denial Collection 1 ever be made available, or are some of these from it? And Blackjack appears to be missing the download...

really well set up page!

Some of these games are not good at all. I didn't include a download for some of the really awful ones. I was going to, but I changed my mind. I just left the pic for archive purposes. Maybe I'll put them up later. But those left out are not GB20 material.

A few of the silly games from Denial 1 were included (Robot Riot and Pocket Racer). I still have a bunch of disks to go through. I was just seeing what the layout shout look like (thanks for the vote of approval, vic user). Two of the games I listed are not even done yet. :p

Everything is GB20 material... the idea is to document every Vic20 game made or released. That's the concept and idea, to digitally preserve history

Hey jeff... You never told us (poor-vicsoccer-addicted) that you wrote a penalty-soccer-game!!! Very, very nice (even if I never doubted about your ability to use the 3.5 kb of the vic...)!!

That was part of the Denial Collection 2, and until now, only available to those people he had sent it to (such as myself). All the DC2 games are available on that page for example.

Thanks Ivanhoe. The soccer game was a "throw-away". I meant it to be more of a joke. It's not really fun to play. I'd really like to make an honest effort at a team sports game someday.

Cool - here's an idea for a team sport

I think I watched every match ever played and still couldn't work out the rules..

Nice games Jeff!

Face it, anything written by you Jeff is worth a try heh...

Both Black Jack and Space Frenzy were my very first games. They really really suck. I couldn't bare to put them up (and consider that I put up variations of the same game under different name). They were pretty bad.

Space Frenzy, my first game attempt circa 1984, was more of a celebration of figuring out how the joystick worked. I didn't have any books or guides (I couldn't afford the Reference Guide yet). The pack-in user guide only hinted at joysticks, graphics, and other game related features. So, I hadn't figured out user graphics yet.

updated the page again. Sorry, I've been so lazy about updating it.
