I'm doing the same thing to my Vic-20 collection as for all my other collections, sorting the games into folders. I'm always creating a section for supporting software houses too.
Let's see...
I find most of the old software houses releasing games for Vic-20 as...
Imagic, Creative, Thorn-Emi, Atarisoft, Microgen, Llamasoft, Melbourne House, Anirog, Nufekop, Rabbit, Parker Brothers, Terminal, Sierra, Mastertronic, Cosmi, Epyx and many more.
But now to the strange part...
Activision?
Activision released games for almost all formats, but not a single game to Vic-20?
Even Xonox released all their games for Vic-20 so it feels kind of strange to not find a single game from Acivision. Some games were released by Commodore themselves, as several games from Adventure International for exemple.
I hope that i have missing something, else, shame on you Activision for not releasing a single game for Vic-20.

Some fun facts...
Anirog was one of the big ones creating games for Vic-20. Later they switched name and became Anco.

That's a good remake of Activisions classic game.
I'm glad to see that so many software developers supported Vic-20 even if Activision didn't, quite strange, especially as Vic-20 was the fastest selling computer for a while and the very first computer to sell one million units.
