This is a mechanical port of the 1980 arcade game: Space Panic. Controls are fire to dig hole, fire+up (or button 2) to fill. This is a PAL release (currently at least) and requires 35K + joystick. (Joystick Button2 is via MAME or a physical joystick using POTX e.g. Cheetah Annihilator / C64GS). All feedback gratefully received.

I think the best palette is the mike-pal.vpl and mike-ntsc.vpl from the VICE-directory (/VIC20) which was derived from photographs took from a 1084 by Mike for PAL and myself for NTSC. Will have to try your editor once released I've been using Mike's colours in vice. Yea, I'll try those. I maxed out my github storage for the CI actions, corrected now but I have to wait… ## [Other Systems • Re: C64 Doom](https://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?p=127181#p127181) _2026-08-21 · Mike · Denial_ Would also be good to have the source with comments Will prepare that during this weekend.

A gerber file would be great. I\`ll make some and put them for sale on here. Also Ive got some PiVic coming in a few days I\`ll test and put some for sale here.

Lots of enemies and bullets flying around. Quick too. I'm about to complete a disassembly of it (with some - ok a lot) of AI assistance. I can put that on github and share if of interest? Yes, quite an unsual one with the overlaid enemies. Thanks. Statistics: Posted by Vic20-Ian — Thu Aug 20, 2026 3:41 pm ## [Games • TFreax, a new Vic20 game.

There are versions for the C64, C16, Vic20, Atari 400/800, ZX Spectrum, MSDOS, or Windows/Linux via SDL. The Vic20 version is just 3k!
