Fun game and very easy to pick up! The game ended with me trying to land on the target in level 3.
I bought DD and Tyre Trax at PRGE when they were initially released IIRC. I hadn't played them until now on the VCS.

I really enjoy this game. I'll try to return with a better score!

After nearly two hours of coffee and virtual skydiving!

I featured the fanzine on last night's show and I've since edited the segment. May I share the link in this thread?

I will feature this fanzine on my Twitch show next Wednesday night at 9pm ET.

Congratulations and best wishes on this venture! I will digest this one slowly, thanks to the tremendous amount of content.

Here is the Club VCS Fanzine segment from last night's show. This video has been edited slightly from the original airing; I did share the link in the chat. I apologize in advance for any errors during the segment; I've been juggling personal matters, one of which I talked about at the end of the show.
I can say that the fanzine segment was well-received by the viewers. They pointed out the 1980s style and layout.
Enjoy the segment!

Hello !
 
Please join us at World of Commodore 2023, Canada's largest Commodore computer expo.  It's being held at the Admiral Inn Mississauga, which provides convenient accommodations for those who are visiting from out of town.  The featured guest this year is Amiga engineer RJ Mical.  This is a two-day event, taking place on:
 
Saturday - December 2, 2023
and
Sunday - December 3, 2023
 

World of Commodore is organized by TPUG - Toronto PET Users Group, which was founded in 1979 and is the longest continually-operating Commodore users group in the world.  Members past and present include Commodore guru Jim Butterfield, legendary programmer Steve Punter, and renowned sensation Dave Bradley (RUN magazine columnist; YouTube's 8-Bit Commodore Man).
 
Full details of the expo can be found here:

We're looking for guest speakers, exhibitors, and vendors.  While vendors are required to pay a table fee, there is no table charge for exhibitors who are not selling any products or services; exhibitors pay only for general admission.  To reserve a vendor's table, please visit the website above.  To reserve an exhibitor's table, please email your request to:  info@tpug.ca
 
Preference is given to guest speakers who are able to present in person.  However, we'd be happy to have you present virtually through Zoom if your project is something that retrocomputing fans would really enjoy.  Please get in touch by emailing:  info@tpug.ca
 

Thanks for being part of the Commodore community !

I want to take a second to thank everyone again for your kind words and encouragement.  This was made with the community in mind and I'm thrilled that folks seem to be enjoying it.  I also want to note something that might have been missed above in the first comment, and that's this:

This is our fanzine.  We were lucky to have great contributors/collaborators like @Mockduck, @RickR and @Podan for Issue 01.   If you enjoy writing, have a great idea for an article or have a flare for design, consider this an invite.   😉

Thanks for your post as I could not recall which game was released first.
For the record, I played 2600 ESB first and then the arcade game whenever possible.

I know I've played ESB on the 2600 at a friend's house but I didn't really had any fun playing it so I can't really count that.
Now the Star Wars Arcade game Atari came out a year later, that was the one that let me live out my Star Wars play fantasy (X-Wing Fighter) as a kid.

Tell me those graphics don't look awesome even now...
