STREET BATTLE RELEASED FOR THE
UNEXPANDED VIC
*************************************

CREDITS

Name: Street Battle
Author: Ghislain
Released:
January 27, 2013
(originally made in 1993)
Requirements:
Unexpanded VIC-20 + Disk Drive.
Description:
A simple street fighting game.

COMMENTS FROM THE AUTHOR

I must have made dozens of ASCII fighting games on the VIC-20 back in the day. So I made one that was somewhat complete with actual graphics, but I never properly finished it until now. To play, you use the function keys to perform jump, punch, kick and dodge against various enemies.

*************************************
FOREST GLIDER RELEASED FOR THE
UNEXPANDED VIC
*************************************

CREDITS

Name: Forest Glider
Author: Jeffrey Daniels
Released:
January 25, 2013 (based on an
original program circa 1989)
Requirements:
Unexpanded VIC-20
(joystick optional)
Description:
Steer a glider. Avoid trees.
Collect Bonuses. Achieve high
scores.

While most people would instantly dismiss anything written in basic Jeffrey Daniels doesn't seem to listen to peoples comments, and why should he because with some ingenuity and lateral thinking Basic can still be used to create entertaining games, the problem of course is the games tend to be slow, but
not here as the plain zipps over the screen at some pace in fact I almost
think it goes to fast!

True the game looks spares apart from some trees; and you will find it quite monotonous as you repeat the same thing over and over, but its a fun release and it is what it is.

COMMENTS FROM THE AUTHOR

Game Play:

Use the joystick or keyboard (both cursor keys) to steer a glider left and right as speed increases with each screen. Avoid trees, collect random bonuses and "slow down" icons. High scores are stored in memory. They will remain even when the program is stopped. To delete high scores, press Shift D at the title screen.

OLYMPIC DASH RELEASED FOR THE VIC
*************************************

CREDITS

Name: Olympic Dash
Author: Ghislain
Released:
January 13, 2013 (originally
programmed in 1996)
Requirements:
Unexpanded VIC-20 + Joystick
+ Disk Drive.
Description:
A proof-of-concept for a track and
field action game. The 100 meter
dash was the only event that has
been programmed so far.

Well it needs some work to turn the program into a full Olympic release! But
as it stands and calling it Dash and bearing in mind this is running on an unexpanded machine then we have the good basis for a program, I would of
course like to see more events, and the running control is quite original, I also think the graphics need a little work as when the runner is in the ready position he seems to stretch out longer than when in the actual running
stance, Still lets hope the author continues with his work to produce a full Olympic event! If you look at the coming soon it does make you want for more! In the Dash you control the player with a joystick and basically move it in
the direction the arrow at the top of the screen points to!
