Denial

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I really need as much help as possible as it's simply too difficult for one man to know every new 'home-brew' or 'indie 8-bit' release. So, as this decade is fast drawing to a close at an astonishing rate of one day per day, I'm hoping to do a major retrospective o...

Thanks folks! I'll demonstrate it at the next Commodore Computer Club (UK) meet in June.

Hello folks, I've also posted this on comp.sys.cbm, and was wondering if anyone here can help. I've found a Maplin VIC-20 Voice PCB, and would like to know if anyone has information about it? It has two 5-pin sockets on it (look like Midi), a 28-pin GI chip and a "pass-though" 9-pin connec...

I have started a personnal project consisting in a weird alteration to a Behr Bonz board. It is effectively a 2Mbytes Non volatile RAM expansion for the VIC-20. Here is a nice invitation to Nicolas: With the proper driver software (a modified version of EasyLoad, perhaps), it could effectively beha...

Unfortunately Simon at Cronosoft is having trouble getting the game onto a 1541 floppy so that he can master the tapes. Is there anyone in the UK willing to transfer the latest version of the prg http://www.kweepa.com/step/games/BlueStar.zip to a disk and send it to him, in exchange for a free copy...

What sort of trick did ViColumn use? I seem to remember something to do with spliting something or other.

Oops. I haven't put up a web page yet.. only two years soon. Try this: http://www.cbm.sfks.se/files/zapactris.zip I must admit, now four years after that it is a bit unplayable. Maybe I'll make a Zapactris V2 that has smooth dropping of pieces and some more features (music?) now when there is not a...

Hi guys, I am working on an article for an upcoming issue of Retrogaming Times about why the Vic 20 is such a great platform for classic gaming. But before I finish the article I thought I would ask some of my fellow Vic 20 enthusiasts their opinion. So here is the question, "Why would anyone ...

What part of the UK are you from?!?

I'll just add that both of the titles mentioned above are worthy of being added to your collection. They'll be R@RE too if sales of other formats are anything to go by

Hello! I have a spare boxed VIC-20 for sale if anyone wants to email me with an offer. Postage will be approximately £9 in the UK or there abouts. I'll post some pics here later and stuff. I could probably also include a 16K RAM Expander too 8) My email is compo@supercpu.de - don't be fooled by the ...

International Soccer What a great game that was.

Apparently, good footie games didn't exist before Match Day II though, or something.

Rockman ruled! I love that game.

Well, I've dug out my VC-20 and I'm currently enjoying a little title called AstroNell from Cronosoft. I also want to find one of my Jelly Monsters cartridges and give that another blast.

What's everyone else playing then...?

As far as I know, line numbers themselves always are encoded with the same number of bytes, but in e.g. a GOTO, the line number is literal and will be evaluated at runtime. Thus, GOSUB 2 takes less space than GOSUB 2000. Basic also looks from the beginning of the program for the line number, so bot...
