Re: Cartridge identity?

Whoa.. ok, I didn't think this would be of such interest and now I'm pretty nervous about doing anything with it! I don't have facilities or expertise (or even a Vic 20), and far be it for me to want to carelessly obliterate any potentially interesting bit of Vic 20 history. So can I offer this cart...

Re: Cartridge identity?

So, I carefully removed the stickers, and then had to clean away some ink scribble - and this is what was revealed. "We float home". I've no idea what that means! Is it the name of a game? A statement of intent? A Japanese saying? :D Does this name mean anything at all to anyone? I will op...

Re: Cartridge identity?

Cartridge identity?

Hi folks, hope this is the right place to post. I'm currently disposing of my software collection, and deep within I found this cartridge that I can't seem to identify - does anyone recognize it or know anything? Unfortunately I don't have a Vic anymore to plug it in to - but I did way back and I do...

Missing fuse cap from 2 prong PSU

Hello all I've found my Vic 20 after having been buried away for 30 years in my dads garage and a whole stack of games. Yay, nostalgia here we go :) Problem is, the fuse cap is missing from the PSU. Of all the little things. It's the PSU with 2 square prongs that plug into the Vic. Does anyone know ...
