Upping this old thread about VICtoria Gold. There's a new version available HERE with an all-in-one-file splashscreen and bootloader (download links in the first post and in Announcement board updated).
Enjoy reviving this old strategy game on your modern VIC-20s :) .

Thank you! We were really hoping to fill a gap in the VIC software availability, and provide hours of strategic fun with a Roman theme.

I still find it funny what happens when you allow oneself plenty of time and delay the unification of Europe until after 400 A.D. - and the Huns then wreak havoc with your Empire. :lol:

As we put the final touches on the game, Alessandro and I had a slightly heated debate how to balance the game in a way it can still be won in that stage, by a small margin though.

Ah, the memories ... :)


P.S. Earlier this year I had some 'fun' with my file hoster, because M$ broke nearly all my d/l URLs. :evil:

Here's the currently working link for the game: victoria.zip

I was able to keep the Huns at bay for the most part but it got dicey in parts. Thank god for the Arabs...LOL.
