@Frederick352:   Do you happen to have a VZ200 version of "Search for Magic Staff"?

Yes. It was finished recently. Project link https://frederick352.itch.io/search-for-magic-staff-vz200

Thanks heaps for the reply and the link!  Many thanks!
Thats a pretty awesome game!
I have added it to our Laser/VZ software library, as well as advertised it on the VZ/Laser facebook site.

cheers

Thanks. My first port to vz200. And if it works well more games will be ported to vz200. Unfortunatelly game doesn't work well in .wav format and I don't have working vz200 computer right now (game was made in MultiPlatformArcadeGameDesigner, ported and tested using vzem emulator), but once some method to fix it will be found then game in .wav format will be published. 

Any chance of a .wav version to load on real hardware?

Can find a VZ2WAV utility on vz200.org/bushy/software.html
Or, hit me up, and I can convert it to a WAV file for you.

However, your VZ will need the Australian Graphics mod to the 6847 chip, which includes 8k of video RAM.  This wont work on a standard VZ200 or VZ300. For more info, ask on the 'VZ200 fans' FB page.

Awesome!  Has been shared over on the 'VZ200/VZ300 fans' Facebook page. There are very few games for the extended 'super high resolution' of the VZ, and this is brilliant.  Very keen to see more of your work ported to the VZ in the future (hint hint).
