Commander X16

Update: There's now a cartridge version of Vault of the Vindicator, for people developing rom cartridges!

Vault of the Vindicator : A Strategy Guide So, you're having difficulty beating Vault of the Vindicator, haven't you? Well, luckily you're here.

Bugfix version:
Should now run on hardware again

I could maybe change that, but that'd involve drawing yet another screen. We'll see. The color change is in Level 4. I intended that to be kinda the reward for getting out ...
