Rapier Punch

Just when you thought all the Vic-20 games had dried up, Commodore have launched a super new 100 screen game for the unexpanded machine.

Yes, you heard me right, one hundred screens on an unexpanded Vic.

The object of the game is to find the treasure chest hidden in one of the darkened rooms. But before you set out on your quest, be warned - there are nasties in those rooms, waiting to pounce on unsuspecting treasure seekers.

As you explore, more of the area turns white - as you leave a trail behind you. The nasties are the usual assortment of dragons, dragons' eggs, spinning crosses and barriers. Barriers are small blocks through which you cannot move. It is very difficult to avoid these barriers as they are invisible.

I enjoyed Rapier Punch - it's a considerable programming achievement on the Vic-20.
