Sent a disk version out to everyone who ordered a tape AFAIR... just a collection of binaries for different memory configurations with no intro. Got lots of help for an SD2IEC version which could bring it all on. Guess I'm heavily overloaded with fun plans that had to go low priority.

Thanks! I'm sorry. The stash of hard copies is sold out. But the additional bunch of TAP, WAV and disk versions is still available.

Had the honour of being interviewed about it once more: http://www.nonsolo8bit.it/2017/08/24/in ... ael-klose/

I hope you like it. (Didn't feel up to it really.)

The interview led me to download the game... today I played it on a real Vic20 and all I can say is that it blew me away! This game and the machine are made for each other. I daresay that the minimal memory configuration and the Vic20' graphics probably led to focus on the pure game experience. Definitely one of my favourites!

I'm glad you're satisfied. :)

Well, I'm back now, and another bunch of tapes is going out already. So, if you want to slap the original thing into your datasette: just send a PM. :D

Just downloaded this last night and recorded it to tape to try on the VIC-20. First time messing around w/ cassette tape in ~25 years, but had a blast. The game is awesome and very addictive. Can't wait for my son to start feeling better and see his reaction. Great work!

Wow, congratulations for having won the shadow Minister's heart :D
You really should propose yourself as his Counselor for Digital Retro Affairs.

Aside from laying awake all night thinking "who the hell is mucking whom" I have one grand recommendation for game designers: It always has to be the player's fault.

And what the hell happened to Nigel Parker? I seriously miss this guy. He had a lot to endure with me when I was too drunk to tell shit from chocolate ice cream.
