VIC-20
The VIC-20 (known as the VC-20 in Germany and the VIC-1001 in Japan) is an 8-bit home computer that was sold by Commodore Business Machines. The VIC-20 was announced in 1980, roughly three years after Commodore's first personal computer, the PET. The VIC-20 was the first computer of any description to sell one million units. It was described as "one of the first anti-spectatorial, non-esoteric computers by design...no longer relegated to hobbyist/enthusiasts or those with money, the computer Commodore developed was the computer of the future." The VIC-20 was called ''VC-20'' in Germany because the pronunciation of ''VIC'' with a German accent sounds like the German expletives "fick" or "wichsen". The term ''VC'' was marketed as though it were an abbreviation of ''VolksComputer'' ("people's computer," similar to Volkswagen and Volksempfänger). History Origin and marketing The VIC-20 was intended to be more economical than the PET computer. It was equipped with 5 KB of st ...

Deflex
Deflex, also known as ''Super Deflex'', ''Deflex V'', and ''Made In France'', is an arcade puzzle game developed by Jeff Minter. The first version, developed in 1981 for the VIC-20 and Commodore PET, is the first Llamasoft game ever produced. Gameplay The gameplay in all versions follows the same basic mechanic. A ball bounces around the screen, moving in cardinal directions only and bouncing off at 180 degrees when it strikes the side of the screen. By pressing a key (or moving the joystick or touching the touchscreen), the player can cause a paddle to appear at the ball's current location, making the ball immediately bounce off the paddle and turn either left or right. Once placed, a paddle remains on screen, forcing the ball into more and more complex bouncing patterns. In addition, whenever the ball strikes a paddle, the paddle's direction is reversed. The objective of the game is to guide the ball to touch a randomly placed target that appears on screen. When the target ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Crazy Kong
is an arcade game developed by Falcon, released in 1981 and similar to Nintendo's ''Donkey Kong''. Although commonly believed to be a bootleg version, it was officially licensed for operation only in Japan when Nintendo couldn't keep up with domestic demand (even though ''Donkey Kong'' was still released there), and is based on different hardware.

Falcon breached their contract by exporting the cabinets overseas, leading Nintendo to revoke the license in January 1982. Like the original game, ''Crazy Kong'' had bootleg versions under such titles as ''Congorilla'', ''Big Kong'', ''Donkey King'' and ''Monkey Donkey''. There are two versions of the original: ''Crazy Kong'' and ''Crazy Kong Part II''.
