06.04.2023 - 'Radar Rat Race' for Plus/4 and C16 released - free for download
'Radar Rat Race' is a modified clone of an arcade classic released in 1980 by Namco, called Rally-X. It was first developed for the VIC-20 by HAL Laboratories in Japan, but soon enough, Namco's corporate lawyers convinced Commodore that it would not be such a good idea to release any unlicensed arcade games. So Commodore's software engineers went on and transformed the cars into rats, the streets into a maze filled with stationary cats, and renamed the game 'Radar Rat Race'. The game was a launch title for the VIC-20 released as a cartridge and was later also ported to the C64 in 1982. Game journalists at the time criticized the game's controls and repetitive sound, but called it "quite exciting and amusing to play."
