This game is a Manic Miners style game with extra sub-games. It is programmed by Jason Fox and Adam Gilmore did the graphics and music. The game is actually more than 20 years old but was never released.
Some new Games & Tools for VIC-20

from Project Homepage:
The 1541-III is a PIC microcontroller controlling an FAT16 MMC/SD card with .D64 files. It is connected to a Commodore computer via the standard IEC-bus (the serial bus normally used to connect diskdrives and printers).
The main goal of the circuit is to behave like a 1541 disk drive (therefore the name 1541-III). The MMC/SD card contains D64-files (or normal .PRG files).

SD2IEC is a hardware mass storage device using an SD/MMC card and interfacing with the IEC bus. It is based on the ATmega644 microcontroller from the Atmel AVR microcontroller family. The most prominent use of SD2IEC is emulation/replacement of a Commodore-1541 disk drive for a C64.
Hardware and the microcontroller’s firmware is available as open source (GPL).
Changelog:

This is a search engine written in PHP and using a MySQL database to store/search c64 releases by filename(file size) or label. Its intention is to let people search in huge amounts of c64 data and locate missing releases. Included is a matcher-tool, that can scan your archives for missing releases!
Hi all!, after 13 years we are back Online via Telnet.
The Hidden Power BBS is working with all the statistics (bullettins) and calls (callerslog) of a time, and nothing was removed, all accounts (login / password / nup / telnet login) are the same as 13 years ago.
If you want to try, Click the Magic Link on the upper right corner (you need Java Macromedia Flash for the FlashTerm Telnet Client).
The PASSWORD of Telnet D00r (fake Unix login) is: area51 / nup: oldskool
Executable Image is a perversely over-engineered solution to a very simple problem: how do I convert a Koala image into an executable program? The sane solution would be to fire up an assembler, write about a page of code copying color ram, set up the VIC, and then pucrunch or exomize it to get a sys line.
Scout released a .bat file that does pretty much all that, and it gets the job done. The implementation gave me an itch that I just had to scratch
though.
Executable Image is available for MacOsx / Linux Binary (sources included).
Changelog:
2009-03-17 – Executable Image release 2

ProTrekkr (formerly known as NoiseTrekker by Juan Antonio Arguelles Rius aka Arguru) is a tracker program combining a software synthesizer together with a traditional samples tracker which can be used to create electronic music (like psytrance, trance goa, hard acid, IDM, chip, techno, etc.) for small sized intros, demos or games.

How to deal with the “not-so-mellow yellow” of old computers and consoles
Anyone who has dug their old computer or console out of the cupboard or loft for some retro gaming will probably have noticed that it maybe hasn’t worn too well with the test of time. The plastics these machines were made of is called ABS and to make it flame retardant (just in case it catches fire after a marathon session) the plastics manufacturers added chemicals that caused the plastic turn yellow or, even worse, brown over a long period of time.

MultiColor is an image manipulation tool for Commodore 8-bit computers’ graphics formats. It is an old-school painting program for graphicians but not an image converter. Currently VIC-II multicolor bitmap is the only supported image format.
