Jack and the Beanstalk by Victory Software

Post by avsars »

I have noticed that there was a tiny adventure game named Jack and the Beanstalk for unexpanded VIC-20 when I was looking at old adventure games. But its file is missing, I couldn't find it anywhere. It is a part of Adventure Pack I released by Victory Software in 1982.

The other games, Moon Base Alpha, Big Bad Wolf and Computer Adventure and even the games of Adventure pack II, African Escape, Bomb Threat and Hospital Adventure are all available through Zimmers or other sources. Standalone games by Victory Software like Grave Robbers are also available. Big Bad Wolf became a part of Commodore's Cassette 6 Pack and its replaced by Jack and the Beanstalk, maybe that's why. All of these programs released for both VIC-20 and C64. C64 version seems to be directly converted from VIC-20 version and needs almost no modification. So with very little changes, I have restored it to the VIC-20 version:
