As in the words of the creator “Formula V20 ’81 is a racing computer game for the 16k expanded Commodore Vic-20. It’s the prequel to Formula V20 ’85. There are eight tracks, and the main goal is to beat the clock. Traverse each track while avoiding the competitor racing cars. There are tunnels where visibility is limited and sections where ice and sleet cover the track, which causes the player to skid wildly. Oh yes, remember to catch the clocks for time extensions. Anyway, good luck!”
Requirements, Loading, and Running the Game:
- A Commodore VIC with a minimum of 16 KB RAM expansion
- A joystick plugged into the joystick port
