 |
|
Does anyone know of any games released for the Vic20 back in the day that came on disk? I only ask because one of my recent purchases arrived and I'm looking through the stack and seeing on the back of one box... LOAD"*",8 .
Huh?! Look at the front, disk drive required it says. Double woah. Open it up (it was shrinked) and indeed inside is a disk. So guess I'll be transfering that one over next time I'm by the 1541...

It's called Volcano Blast from our old friends ALA Software...

And they probably still need to be added to GB20... though I've now got 7 ALA games in there. Who knows how many more they released...
Volcano Blast by the looks of it is just a simple Blitz/Bomber style game, but I'll have more on it when I transfer the disk...

I always like the "ALA Software" titles. They made the best games. I especially liked the high quality casette holders. I remember I bought an ALA game that was based on breaking into a specific building and trying to crack a safe open. I can't, for the life of me, remember the name of the game though.,
