To be honest my favorates probably arn't technicaly the best games on the system:

Gorf, Omega Race (play it with paddles), Radar Rat Race, Arcadia (although it's a bit solid), and The Perls of Willy, oh and not forgetting Mole Attack :mrgreen:


My 'best games on the VIC' list wouldn't be the same as my 'favorates' list.
I would say: Jet Pack, Perils of Willy, Matrix, LazerZone, jelly monsters, Chariot Race, and Villan are technicaly amongst the best.

I think Star Battle was the most fun Space Invaders type game, although Alien Blits was probably the best/closest/most accomplished version for the VIC.

I'm still a bit of a VIC fan...

Funny, I do not know the majority of the titles mentioned here. I was a kid when I played Vic20 games and still remember the more graphical advanced titles:
Fast Eddie: Always have a soft spot for this ancient platform title.
Video Mania:This game stands out because it has a titletune.
Rat Hotel: Anyone knows this game? You play a rat who must escape a rat catcher by escaping from a hotel using elevators. Incredibly detailed graphics for a Vic game.
