Well, come on Dave... it wasn't working yet. You could move the tanks around and that was cool, but no enemies = no fun. You know I was interested in it, and I'm sure other people would be once it is closer to being playable. :-)

If it has the best graphics it still can't be playable. Where can I find this game? I searched for it but didn't find it. I still like to play on the C64 but I wonder how many people still use it for gaming. Most of the competitions etc. are for demos, I'd really like to have some gaming parties. Altough I think some people still might play some challenges from time to time but when I was playing Snoopy yesterday I just asked myself if I am the only one in the world playing this right now... A game really missing on the C64 in my Opinion is a good 4-player Bomberman Clone. There was one for DOS called "Boom", the funniest Bomberman ever for 3-4 players (well 2 also works).

They may not be very smart, but they are there. I'm still working on Planet X1, but I doubt I'll ever polish it to the point I originally intended to... Also it may be possible that the audience on the Vic-20 is smaller than on the C64..

I would hope that it was. I mean, can't it run Vic-20 programs? Bill Garber of Garberstreet Electronics http://www.garberstreet.com

The long answer is that it could run a very small portion of programs written on the VIC-20 as long as those programs were written entirely in BASIC and did not use any features other than writing text to the screen. So that probably means less than 1% of VIC-20 programs would work on the C64. |
