Escape 2020

Happy New year. Vic 20 and tapes go together for me I will make a disk version too.

Was hoping to get it released before the end of 2020, [...]

At least in some parts of the world it still was 2020 when you released it.

Ha - I was so tired last night/this morning that didn't even occur to me.

I have added a DISK version to the Itch page.

One of the struggles getting the tape version working yesterday came from exomizer and playing with a 'FAST' TAP option in a tool called 'WAV-PRG' I had found. Both would work if I just converted one PRG to TAP, but having two PRG's (the loader program and the main game) would simply just fail to work. Some 'magic' going on that I could not see.

I might ask about exomizer once I've had some time to look into it further, if there is anyone here familiar with it. Using the Kernal to load an exomized PRG just gave a totally different result to typing LOAD straight from BASIC. It seemed like there was another step needed before I would see the same result in memory, and this prevented me calling anything once the Kernal load had completed. Sorry, that does not make much sense ... as I say I'll need to look into what I was doing a little further first.

For me, it was the last game I played in 2020, around 11pm local time.

Excellent game. Have not gotten very far yet but i'll be playing it again for sure.

Love how it loads from tape! Thank you for making this.
