The editor itself runs under Windows. Graphics are imported as PNG files, the Tiled editor is used to create levels. Amiga formats (mod, 8svx, anim5) are used for sounds, music and animations. Scorpion Engine 2021.5, along with all of the demos can be downloaded from the official repository.

15.05.2021 - new VIC-20 hgame 'VIC Advenger' for download
VIC Advenger was made in one day for a GAME JAM to promote VIC 20 awareness. It is a homage to Adventureland by Scott Adams and Space Invaders by Tomohiro Nishikado. The game should be a very short experience (under 5 minutes). This game is a KEYBOARD controlled text adventure made entirely in BASIC for the unexpanded VIC 20. I recommend using a real Vic 20 or VICE emulator in NTSC mode (open the prg file in xvic.exe program).
