DENIAL VIC-20 GAMES COLLECTION
*************************************
Jeff Daniels, founder of the Denial
VIC-20 website, is releasing his
Denial Collection 3, a group of 7
games on tape (6 on disk) for the
unexpanded VIC. To follow the
discussion thread of this game
collection, go to

My new project is finally done. I'll
figure out the postage and start
mailing them this weekend. It's a
box set and requires a tape drive
and joystick (no memory expansion).
The box version contains seven
modest games. A colour disk version
with six games will also be
available on request. I eventually
plan to make the game programs that
can be played without additional
components available online in the
future.
The collection is a concept piece
about dichotomies. Ten Ten, the only
previously released game, is an
example of the theme. I wanted to
approach the collection as a
musician would assemble an album
(consider this my "Dark Side of the
Moon"). I couldn't decide if I
should tell all about the contents
or let it be a surprise. A mystery
box.
I really want to recreate the
experience of tape loaded games. I
noticed that after waiting for a
game to load, I'm more likely to
explore its finer details; unlike
the average 2.5 seconds I give to
ROMs via emulation.
Those of you with the first or
second collection should know what
to expect. "Basic games". A few
other surprises are included this
time.
I'll have to get to the post office
in find out how much postage will be
first, but I estimate shipping to
average US$5. The box is kind of
heavy, so I should verify that first.
I wanted to make it a winter gift
for when you guys are all snowed in,
but obviously, I can't make enough
(or afford to ship) to all members.
Asking for a donation to offset
shipping would help me know how many
to make. PM your shipping address if
you think you may be interested.
Also, if you want me to explain
more, I will.
