Another Misfit game! Time to bring out the Vic out of the closet I think! :)

Incredible! Not my cup of tea, only playable at child level for me :oops: , but technically impressive. It looks very much like a Speccy game!

That is very cool - reminds me a bit of Goldrunner on the ST.

One minor criticism is that the typeface is quite hard to read - does it really say 'BONER MODE' underneath 'PRESS FIRE'...? :lol:

Scrolling shoot 'em ups are always in style... thank you!
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

I'll be trying this ASAP. Those graphics look very good. More like a Spectrum game than a VIC 20 one.

Looks, fantastic. Thanks for this.

I especially like the intro music and the retro/arcade style ditties between the levels.

Great game, even if I suck at it. I'm listening to the intro-music right now, great song - too few games on the VIC have such snappy music!
