Mr. Belvedere and a Commodore Computer commercial 1983

I don't know about the VIC-20 but there is a superb version of Pitfall! on the Commodore 64. Written in assembly and not BASIC but you can learn that too.

      I don't know but if it can run on one, it can be created on one. And while I'm not 100% sure, given the custom hardware in the C64 and the fact that Pitfall was released in 1984, I doubt there would have been anything better to develop on and I don't think cross-compilers for the C64 came along until later.

      I believe it was pretty common to develop C64 games on the C64 though I would imagine it was also common to use RAM expansions and hard drives to make development easier, faster and more convenient.
