Blitz is an action game published by Commodore for its VIC-20 home computer in 1981. The game is based on the 1977 arcade video game Canyon Bomber from Atari, Inc., with the goal of clearing boulders replaced with bombing closely packed skyscrapers. Several later clones of the concept also use the urban setting. The game is played with a single button which drops a bomb.

Taylor originally self-published the game as Vic New York. Blitz was later sold by Mastertronic as New York Blitz. He also wrote Blitz-64 for the Commodore 64 and Blitz-16 for the Commodore 16.
