Hey folks - I have never heard of this game before. Is it known?

wow, never noticed this before. Just played it on MegaCart - quite impressive graphically, but frustratingly difficult.

Actually I see there are quite a few Xonox carts on eBay. Pricey though!

The single enders are harder to find than the double enders, but they're not worth $75 each.

And can I repeat again, DO NOT reference the Cartzilla document if you can avoid it. It's horribly, HORRIBLY out of date and incorrect today.

Is there a better list? It's still in the top results on Google.

The best you are going to get is the Digital Press rarity guide at http://www.digitpress.com/video-game-guide/

I really need to get it back out of the database properly and into some "hard copy" form for people to use as a list.

I love Spikes Peak. That is one of the best Vic-20 games ever made. I have some damn good memories playing "Spikes Peak" and "Chuck Norris Superkicks" as a 6th grader back in the day. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Does it need joystick (or paddles)? I need to buy a joystick sometime soon for my VICs.

It takes a joystick.
