A pretty tough puzzle game, somewhat like a sliding block puzzle. Not my cup of tea really...

#12 MINI-PAC

A pac man game with 6 different mazes. There's a bug making it hard to like - if the player eats a pill and then walks onto a blank square he jumps ahead a square, which can make avoiding ghosts difficult. You can fix it by adding ':return' to the end of line 700. (I had typed the game in incorrectly before, so mistakenly thought the ghosts could only walk on the pills.)

This is the first expanded game from Hebdogiciel - 8k or greater required, and you have to type 'poke8192,0:poke44,32' before loading the game from disk. For that reason it's on a zipped d64.

I optimized a few sections for space, allowing this version to run with a 3k expansion. Hence no need for pre-poking, and no need for a d64.

#13 MISSION SUICIDE

A very simple game, but quite addictive. It seems totally random but you soon get quite good it.
I didn't supply txt versions because some petscii chars aren't represented properly when importing and exporting from BasEdit.

Thanks again, kweepa! I'm still typing away on my mega-type-in.

#14 SAUVETAGE

An unusual viewpoint, in two ways - visually, and gameplay. In this one you have to rescue wounded people from a collapsed building and get them back to the ambulance. To move around, press [Z],[C],[F1]-[F7]. When you step into the elevator you press [1],[0], or [-] to travel to a new floor.
Note: you can cheat by pressing [<-] ([`] on PC) to show the robots and [3] to hide them again.

For +3k.

This translation has some code changes to prevent stack overflow - I left the original as-is for posterity. I also changed the keys to ZXOKIL to move around.

[Kweepa]

Thanks again, kweepa! I'm still typing away on my mega-type-in.

You're welcome! It's fun! Good luck with the mega-type-in - it looks like a good one! 8 listings!

[Vicman *1970]

Thats GREAT ! , Thanks again Kweepa

btw. #13 MISSION SUICIDE is also a +3k game.

[Vicman *1970]

Note to #14 SAUVETAGE.prg :
Elevator Control is not - , 1 , 2
It is - , 1 , 0

it is :
upper floor = 1
middle floor = 0
lower floor = -

btw. funny game

EDIT:
also found a bug ?
- sometimes, if i hit the wall in the middle floor, i jump to the upper floor...
- sometimes while playing, the game crash

[Kweepa]

upper floor = 1
middle floor = 0
lower floor = -

Ah, that (kind of) explains it.

EDIT:
also found a bug ?
- sometimes, if i hit the wall in the middle floor, i jump to the upper floor...

Did you see the teleport robot? It could have been that guy.

- sometimes while playing, the game crash

I'll check the code. Thanks for the report!
Hmm, looks like every time you hit a robot the BASIC stack grows by 7 bytes. Must be a gosub without a return. I'll track it down and see if it's a bug in the original program or a typo.

[Kweepa]

Added English translation of SAUVETAGE - with bug fixes to prevent stack overflow. I had to change 4 or 5 places.
I left the French program as-is (I also changed the keys back to [Z], [C], [F1]-[F7]) for posterity.

@kweepa

Would it be possible sometime in the future to add a joystick routine to SAUVETAGE?I found the key bindings a bit odd; if not, thanks anyway!
All the best.

[Kweepa]

It's definitely possible... however the game requires 6 way movement so it would damage gameplay. Easier would be a redefine keys option. I'm probably not going to do it any time soon.

[Vicman *1970]

@Kweepa : thanks for your support.
@AntiPontifex : on a real VIC20 the control is a little tricky....
.....................but for playing it on PC/Emu WinVice : You can use XPadder to setup your control to a Gamepad.
I did this for about 450 VIC20 keyboard games. (more to come)
This will be a feature of my VIC20 Gamebase. Feel free to use it

EDIT:
Here are updated xpadder profiles for Sauvetage (en) and Sauvetage (fr) -with "see & hide robots"

[AntiPontifex]

Thank you, vic-man: truly kind of you!

#15 MISSION


http://www.kweepa.com/step/vic20/games/heb15mis.zip

+8k.

A really clunky "scrolling" pseudo Scramble. It's got some nice features, like 3 stages with different UDGs, and the nuke on stage 2 onwards when you blow up a radar base.

English translation:
http://www.kweepa.com/step/vic20/games/heb15mis.prg

For the translation, I squeezed it down to run on an unexpanded machine with some refactoring, renaming and renumbering, so you can just run the prg.
