Targ
Hi,
just uploaded a 'new' game for the VIC-20 + 8K. It is a version of Exidy's Targ.
Download it from here
There was already a version of this game for the VIC (it is called 'Torg'). But, with its movement at char level, I found it a bit frantic. So, I've tried to provide a 'smoother' version of the same game.
Game is using a screen of 27x27 so, as it happend with Crash, in NTSC VIC, last column is barely visible.
Cheers

Re: Targ
Thanks for this.
It looks very faithful to the original and plays great. I hadn't seen this game before, or taken any notice of it at least. Seems these early games translate quite well to the Vic in your hands.
Another quality conversion from the LeChuck stable.

To be honest, I don’t remember this game from the 80’s either (I don’t think it became very popular in Spain at that time). But saw a video in Youtube and thought it fit well in my capabilities so I decided to give it a try

Re: Targ
Wasn't aware of Spectar, I can see it's the sequel now. Interesting.

Re: Targ
I've never Spectar before - looks quite good.
On a related side note: It's funny how game programmers of the era thought that an ascending/descending frequency-sweep was a cool sound effect. Seems something particularly prevalent on the Vic.
