Recommend a Game

Post by randolph.pickle »

I was wondering if you good folks here could recommend some fun games that:

1. Are for the unexpanded VIC
2. Are written entirely in BASIC
3. Can be played without a joystick

Part of my learning BASIC project has been typing in games and then figuring out how they work. So far I've been through the games in the back of the user's manual (which aren't too great) and 'Super Slither' (which I enjoy playing quite a bit).

Did someone just call my name? hahaha. You and I have the same tastes. My games can be found in the link in my signature. I haven't updated them in a while, but there's a bunch of old stuff there.

And there's also (shameless plug) my type-in collection of 21 games for the unexpanded VIC-20. :mrgreen:

Dammit, I'm too late...I can't compete with these two geniuses. It's like walking on stage after Jimmy Hendrix and Eric Clapton.

My humble game certainly meets the criteria. :)
