Finding a game

Post by ajordison »

Bit of a long shot this one but here goes. I'm trying to get hold of game I played on the vic20 back in the day. It was a type in (probably from 'Your Computer' magazine) and involved managing a village's resources while having to deal with bad weather, invasion from other tribes, failing crops etc. The game was a single screen done in PETSCII graphics and had the village on the right with a mountain on the left.

I want to track it down because it's the first large (for the time) program I really studied and altered successfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Arthur.

I've just been looking through the copies of 'Your Computer' on the Internet Archive

I don't recall seeing that game but if I come across it I'll let you know.

Thanks for trying! I didn't know about that website so I'll have a look around as well.
