Games are loaded by fixing the sensor pack on the screen and playing back specially recorded YouTube videos with a small box of flashing lights that the sensor picks up, you have a receiver program that you load up first on the VIC20 and it then picks up the light pulses and turns that in to 1’s and 0’s. More details on catching up next episode.

But watch out its been taken over by all kinds of monsters! In this platformer you have to collect items, along with special strategic items to help you escape, like a snorkel to help you walk underwater. Also, you need to collect three coulored keys along the way.
