This is a great video, I just recently found a VIC20 in the thrift store and it's interesting how some of the games it's clear how they used what they could where others it looks like some dark magic where you can't even tell the thing can't run bitmap framebuffers.

Some of these games give me instant nostalgia, some of them I've never seen before and seem to be pushing the boundaries of what the machine can do whether ram expanded or not they are pretty impressive, I like the game and watch style game it's a different approach to the graphics on the system .Some of the games seem to bordering on spectrum style graphics but with the vic 20 the sound comes through the television.

@10:52 LOL you can see the computer grind, as it computes all the reflections...

I don't think Tom Griner ever made a bad game on the VIC. Dude knew that machine inside and out

I know it might be controversial to some, but I prefer Jeff Minter's stuff on the VIC-20 to his C64 stuff overall

*DOOM!*

Ported to everything. I saw doom on a calculator once.

a pregnancy test yes a pregnancy test with a digital display no joke.

*Porsche.* yes the car. the steering wheel moved the character left and right and the gas moved you forward. it played on the touch screen.

TIL There was a VIC-20 version of Crypt of the Necrodancer. Kind of.

There is a game, where you have to robbery the bank. Only one screen with some houses and street, I think. Could someone tell me the name here, please?
