Please help me find this game of which I don't know the title (original title was hacked). It's a sort of "Joust" but with orange egg-shaped sprites on black background. It was machine language written with nice sound effects, that's all I remember. Anyone knows/remembers it?

The only "Joust" clone I know for the VIC is "Bagdad" from Compute's Gazette.

There's Return of the Space Warriors for C64 that fits your description though that's not for the Vic20 of course.

"return of space warriors" is very similar to the game I am seeking. The egg-shape of spaceships is the same but without legs on the VIC 20 version.

Well, at least now I know what title to search for

I have Return of the Space Warriors on original tape. I found it quite fun to play back in the day, but it was many++ years since I played it the last time.

Do you mean the Vic 20 version? That would be great! Do you have a .TAP file to share? I've looked on zimmers.net but it isn't there.

I think he means the same as me, the C64 version. I only picked it out cos it sounded very much like what you were describing. I've not seen a similar game on the Vic20 myself.

Yes, C64. That particular game was made in 1986/87, but it doesn't prevent an older, similar game to exist for the VIC-20.

I've found it!!!

It's called "Space Joust" and you can download it on Arma's site:

The spaceships really do look like Easter eggs! I remember playing this with a friend and how he acclaimed that he now owned one Christmas game and one "Easter game". Life was complete...

I wonder if the Easter egg similarities were intentional. At least here in Sweden, a traditional game at Easter involves tapping eggs against each other trying to crack the other without cracking your own.
