Vic20 Game-Clips on You Tube

Post by Vicman *1970 »

Hi all,
i've made (and still make) some vic20 videoclips on You Tube.
The goal is to have a short clip from each vic20 game online.

The games are sorted in playlists. (Number, Letter A, Letter B, etc.)

I use the TOSEC-Set for the game-clips.

My first clips (Number and Letter A) are a little to short in my opinion....(15 - 30 seconds)...so i think i will re-up them.....later

The clips "Letter B" are o.k. i think (0,5 - 1,5 min. each clip)

Up to now i've uploaded about 175 clips....
Numbers (15) and Letter A (102) are complete......(from TOSEC-SET)
Letter B have 59 clips at the moment...

you can see them here :

I'm glad you're doing it, so please, please continue, the Poor VIC 20 is all too often the also ran in the 8 bit world, but it was a great little computer.

Honestly though, that has to be the worst version of Blitz that I have ever seen in my life! I've played better on the ZX Spectrum!

Why this one ?
Is it your program ? or because of the cool music...or the difficult gameplay ?
or because : Blitz = :x , City Crusher = 8)

EDIT:
Just for you ;-)

Ewww! I remember that travesty. I'm honored you gave it a chance, but it was a little painful to watch that 17 year old game. It seems like you lost lives between levels. Was that just editing or was there a bug in the program?

Recently I played this game on real Vic + Mega-Cart whit my son, really funny moments :)
or because of the cool music...or the difficult gameplay ?
Yes very cool music, I remember it was really impressive with my friends 8)
or because : Blitz = :x , City Crusher = 8)
