What details do you want? What the games are, who is programming them? 
How are they being programmed?

The truth is that multiple new games are released for most of the 8bit 
platforms every year. There are competitions like the minigame one, that 
produce many games. Also people release other titles as well. On the 
Vic-20 Denial forums there are four Vic-20 games so far listed this year. 
One is a reworking of an older game. I have plans for two games for the 
Vic-20 to be completed this year, I'm just slack at finishing them.

I'm sure that if there are at least three fresh original Vic-20 games in 
2008 so far, then there are far more for other systems like the C64. I 
don't know about Apple but I assume that the output would be similar. You 
just need to look in the right places. Most of the programmers don't use 
this newsgroup much anymore. Bad signal to noise ratio, web forums are a 
better place.
