   Name:         Game Theory (remake)   
   Author:       Jeffrey Daniels   
   Released:     April 2016   
   Requirements: VIC20 with no expansion   
      
   Written entirely in BASIC, the game uses either the Keyboard (any key) or   
   Joystick (fire button) and features a number of mini games that you have to   
   complete.  However, fail one and you lose and start again.  The mini games   
   are selected at random and you have seconds to work out how to play.  Of   
   course the more you play the more you find out what you should do.  It's a   
   brilliant idea and well executed.   
      
   The download has some instructions and a PDF cassette inlay.   
      
   The manual says:   
      
   In this operant conditioning game, the player is tasked with pressing a   
   single button at the right time and in the right way.  Determine the best   
   action for each game.  If you are correct, you will advance to the next   
   round.  An incorrect reaction will return you to the title screen.  Try to   
   beat the high score.  As you play longer, more games will be encountered.   
   Some games may test your reflexes with a perfectly timed press.  Some games   
   may require you to rapidly press the button.  Others may require different   
   strategies for pressing the button.

                 TELENGARD   
   *************************************   
      
   Neo-Rio has created a VIC20 version of the game Telengard.  To play the   
   game you have to use a 24 KByte RAM expansion.  The game does have some   
   compromises due to the limited amount of RAM.  Click .

   Requirements:   
     VIC-20 with +24K RAM expansion

     VIC-20 port of the classic role-

   Author's comments   
      
   There was no official version of Telengard released onto the VIC-20.  Many   
   screamed out in anguish to their gods to get the game ported to the wonder   
   computer of the 1980s, but their voices fell on deaf ears for over three   
   decades.  Suddenly, out of the ether(net) the code sprang forth!  Their   
   prayers had finally been answered by the gods...  or so they thought.....   
   In truth, I just found myself unemployed and with a lot of time on my   
   hands.  What started out as an experiment to see if the game *could* be   
   shoehorned onto a fully expanded VIC turned into an obsession - resulting   
   in a fully functional VIC-20 port of Telengard v4.18 (the standard Avalon   
   Hill Telengard version).
