  • This is a preview of a new game I've been working on for a while for the Commodore VIC-20. Originally I had planned on porting Flash Attack to the VIC-20, but later on I realized it would be better if I could find a way to convert it to a 1-player game. So this is the concept I've come up with. It is still not finished, obviously, but I thought it might be nice to show people a peek at the game without making them download something and try to play it on an emulator.

      And it was great, although I like the ability to view 2 tanks at the same time like X1!

    Man, back in the day...Like 1981...You would have made a mint if you advertised this game in Compute's Gazette. Impressive work. How much work would it take to make bots and tanks move in smoother steps rather than 8x8?

    Hi David. I stumbled upon this while checking out the C64 version. I love the concept and it plays brilliantly. Any chance you'll release this WIP version or versions? Even better, include the betas of both to the purchasers of the actual final game as an extra. Looking forward to it.

    Wow. I am back in my friends basement in 1983. The VIC-20 was cool, but he soon replaced it with the 64 which offered Summer Games and Castle Wolfenstein. I didn't play vids after that until the Nintendo 64.
    I have a TI99-4A sitting in my basement.
    Ha! Thanks for the memories!

      Hey David, sorry if I feel a little weird considering the fact that I have a brother named David which is NOT you, but there is a replying feature on UA-cam. Also on your videos, if you see a comment you really like, you can pin it, and it is also a must. What's funny about pinning comments is the fact that you can pin YOUR OWN comments. Give a like if replying to comments is really easy and neater, and pinning comments is REALLY COOL.
      Disclaimer: The downside of pinning comments is on a video, only 1 comment will be pinned at the same time. If you pin another comment, the other comment will be (UN)pinned.
      Do you think I should shut up? I think I should.
