28.09.2024 - VIC-20 game 'Monster Muncher' released - free for download
Monster Muncher, an obvious Pac-Man clone for the (unexpanded) VIC-20, was originally created by Matthew Smith (Manic Miner & Jet Set Willy) in 1983. Published by Spectrum Games (who went on to become Ocean) in limited numbers, the game has only recently been found by the Games That Weren't. The game is mostly playable. You can eat the dots and gobble the monsters. It has three lives and the monsters can gobble you. Unfortunately it is not possible to complete a maze and when you are out of lives, restarting carries on your score.
