The number of commercial machine code games archived somewhere is rather finite, but the number of both commercial and home-made Basic games is so large that Mika could just as well ask for someone to make a new game based on this game play and graphics. :D
Yes, but I think it was orginal game. We didnt write it from book/magazine.

Course I remember that we were so excited of that listing we got out of that game and we were joking that we cracked that game, course we could save copy of it to other tape.

I just wonder what was that diving game. Only Vic20 game thats missing from my childhood. 8)

I only checked vs Zimmers. There are a lot of TAPs over at Armas which are not single-filed PRGs at Zimmers, and maybe more elsewhere. This is an excellent case where a browseable database as discussed in the other thread would've been useful.

I own Sixty Programs for the Commodore 64, and it has Scuba among them. I tried to take a picture of the listing with my camera and feed it to OCR, but even after after-processing, it only ends up as mush. I need to borrow a scanner to do that.

Sorry, you are not allowed to deep-link on Tripod and similar sites. You need to create web page for the purpose, or change to another host (maybe post VIC-20 screenshots on Flickr?)
