Unreleased/rumoured Vic20 cartridges - July 15, 2008

Vic20 GTW titles are on average harder to find compared to similar gaming scenes like Intellivision, Atari VCS, let alone C64, therefore I deem useful the "vapourware" section from this old but still handy list of cartridges.

Some of the games presented, that may or may not fall into such category, are:

  • Donkey Kong Jr
  • Joust
  • Mario Bros
  • Track & Field
  • Fort Apocalypse
  • Popeye
  • Repton
