First Addon

I'm not technical, but...There was also this device that accompanied the Commodore VIC-20. This would make all the hard earned effort recoverable. It gave the ability to load/save the things that I had typed into my Commodore VIC-20.

The first game I created from nothing was called SKI RUN. A very simple game to today's standards, but back then it was great. The screen scrolled up and obstacles appeared in your path - so you had to move your character left and right to avoid them.

I was added a score counter and a concept of lives. Once your lives ran out it would just print 'GAME OVER' on the screen and then the 'READY' prompt appeared.
