My homebrew games for the Laser 500 and VZ200

Post by Fabrizio Caruso » Mon Jan 16, 2023 12:58 am

Is anyone here interested in trying my 6 homebrew games for a multitude of systems (Creativision, Laser 500, VZ 200 and about 200 more vintage systems)?
All these games have been written in C and share the very same game code thanks to my universal framework Cross-Lib:

You can get them with Cross-Lib (see link above) and also play the Laser 500 and VZ200 versions online at these links:

It just so happens that I have a genuine VZ200 at home right now. Happy to try them for you. It may not be today, but I'll definitely give them a go.

Thanks for making these for the community!

Ok so I couldn't get any to work.
I converted them all to WAV (using CVZ2WAV), and ran them with "CRUN". They all loaded up with the same nonsensical name and rebooted at the end of loading.

I don't have th 16K RAM expansion so it may have just been a memory issue, but in each case it did infact complete loading.

BTW there is an excellent FaceBook group for the VZ200. https://www.facebook.com/groups/4609469943
(I am a member, yes :-) )

Cheers!

It is a memory issue indeed. You need a memory expansion for them. They should run on the real hardware as people have posted videos of the real hardware running them.
