Description

Ten Superb 3.5 Programs is a collection of games and utilities written for the unexpanded Commodore VIC-20. Amongst the ten included programs are five games, some of which are the first commercial releases programmed by Jeff Minter: Breakout*: a simple Breakout clone.

  • Mastermind uses colour and sound to the full.
  • Space Zap: a satellite in the center of the screen shoots incoming aliens by rotating its gun, perhaps the first appearance of a llama in a Minter game
  • Tanx: a tank battle for two players.
  • Word Games: an unusual and challenging game for 2 or more players.
