Archon - The Light and The Dark by Aleksi Eeben (May/June 2021) - This is an absolutely amazing conversion of the famous Commodore 64 chess-like game originally by Anne Westfall, Jon Freeman and Paull Reiche III released in 1983 for the unexpanded VIC20.  Inside the archive are versions on .tap and .d64 and a very important acknowledgement PDF with additional details on the conversion.

As noted in the acknowledgement document, the official release can be obtained HERE along with many additional things, such as the source code and more screenshots.

My original source of information on this conversion came from this thread over at the VIC20 Denial forum.

Dungeon of Dance by Jason Justian (2021) for the unexpanded VIC-20 is an old-school, but somewhat subverted, roguelike game. It has the classic genre elements: explore the dungeon, find food, armor, and potions that may or may not behave as advertised when imbibed. You'll encounter goblins to vex, wraiths to confound, and dragons to banish. The dragon holds the key to the door to the next level, and the only way to get that key is to best the dragon in a winner-take-all dance off! Find the Magic Mirror Ball to complete your quest.

You need a good memory to match your opponents' moves, and it only gets harder as you descend further into the depths of the Dungeon of Dance!

Vicarate 3.5 (released Jan. 7th, 2021) by Henner Kessler is a fighting game for the Commodore VIC-20.  No memory expansion is required, or can even be installed when playing.  There is support for 2 players when using the Protovision 4 player interface.  In the archive is both a .D64 image and a .PRG file that can be put on an SD card if using the SD2IEC with your VIC-20.  Be sure to load the game with Load "VICARATE35",8,1 as it's a machine language program.

** this version doesn't work with the FB20 launcher, but included in the archive is an Exomizer crunched version that does.
