Something a little different now...... The Vic 20 was one of my favourite machines that I grew up with, being actually the first ever proper computer I had back in 1989. One dream has been to set up a GTW mirror in its own right for the machine. But what with a busy schedule with GTW 64, and the GTW Portal site, I just don't have the time. So as a small taster of what could be a future site in it self, our special ongoing article will take a brief look at the Vic 20 games which never quite made it. This will grow over time, so bear with us...

Space Vultures - 1982 Commodore

Thanks to GarryG for mentioning this one... Apparently labelled Vic -1936 on the cartridge, this was to be a Phoenix clone by Commodore, but was never to be. It is rumoured that Atari stepped in and stopped Commodore, as did Namco with Jelly Monsters. However, Space Vultures seemingly never made it to stores. Did anything get started?... We believe so, but no signs of this game means it could be tough. However, what with collectors able to pick up prototype cartridges and a few known prototype sources, it could be found...

Q-Bert Qubes - 198? Parker Bros

The game's manual for the Atari platform all but confirms that Commodore was due a conversion, but was it Vic 20 as well as C64?... It's believed so. The hunt goes on for th C64 version, and the Vic 20 is all but possibly vapourware... or is it?...

And thats it. More will continue to be added to this page. Please help submit any names of games, which could be from advertisements for games which never surfaced on the Vic. I will try and update as frequent as possible (as and when I get titles to add). Hopefully this will provide a small resource for those who have an interest in preserving Vic 20 software.
