Wacky Waiters on Commodore Vic 20 vintage home computer.

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Wacky Waiters, by Imagine programmer Eugene Evans, playing on an unexpanded Commodore Vic 20 vintage home computer. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

Damm this games reminds me off another, but I can not think of the name. It had more colour in it

There was an arcade game called Elevator Action, which I only have the vaguest memory of, but this may possibly be similar.

Good question.

By unexpanded I mean the RAM capacity.

The standard VIC 20 has just under 4k.

Many games require 8k or 16k, which is no biggie as RAM packs are common and cheap. I have a 16k one here.

Oddly, many 4k games won't run with expanded RAM fitted.

@ParkingtigersX Thanks :)

I usually play badly when recording videos (I'm actually okay when not commentating), so assumed that to be the case here too. It's kind of a feature of my vids.

I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Good god, I had this game on my old viccy circa early 1980's...thanks for the share brought back some memories.

Yes it was annoying then and clearly annoying now.

[captainbirdseye1972]

Damn I had this game circa very early 1980's.. was frustrating then and as I can see still is ;D.....

'I wouldn't want to eat at this restaurant... The waiters are either slow or dead.' Hilarious!

So, when you say "unexpanded" what does that mean?

And if you were to "expand it," theoretically would it (or the other games) run faster?
