- Ahh... (blissful expression covers the author face) Radar Rat Race... Not only
- did this particular game convince me to invest AU$400 in a VIC20 that became
- the sole focus of my early teens, before too long it had me disassembling the
- cartridge (physically and with a FOR:PEEK:NEXT) to see what made it tick;
- needless to say, things for me were never the same again.. :)
-
- In the ROMs for RRR, there's a reference to ``The VIC Commandoes'' ... a
- programmers' group that originated on ``The Source'' info service long ago.
- Does anyone know more about this these guys? Who was TCE795? I've only heard
- tenuous mentionings in *very* early computer magazines.
-
-
- BTW,, Has anyone achieved a score of over 315 in ``Mole Attack''? {{:)
- (which actually had a partal assembly listing in the ROMs! .. My Rosetta Stone
- to assembly language..)
