About

It's a Living is a 1-player arcade game for the VIC-20.

The player has taken a job working on the production line unloading boxes at an atomic bomb company. The player is positioned in the center of the screen while 4 conveyor belts move boxes towards the player. The player can move their character's hands in 4 directions to pick up boxes as they come. Boxes approach faster as the game progresses, but so does the player's payment per box. If a box falls off the end of the conveyor belt, an atomic explosion ensues, and the employee's contract is terminated.
