Cyclons for the VIC

Does anyone know of the game Cyclons for the VIC-20. Back in the day when the VIC came out, I purchased this game. It was an "expanded" game only available obviously on cassette. I believe the 8k expansion was enough to run it. But that was a long time ago, I could be wrong that it needed 16k.

Has anyone run across this game? I'd love to play it again. I know a version had come out for the 64, however, the VIC version was far superior in my opinion.

Anyway, if anyone has a lead on it, I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks,
Thomas

Yeah I remember it well, though not very fondly on the Vic20.
I got it one Christmas, and the game didn't work at all.... Eventually played it on the C64, but that was it.

The Vic20 version should be around, probably in the TXZ Vault as a TAP file or something.

I used to like the Rabbit software stuff on the Vic 20 and C64... A very strange company, but something about their games, especially on the Vic 20.
