Re: Arma's tapes collection
I am gradually downloading it from the Wayback Machine link (I am on S now), giving the files modern long filenames and generally trying to tidy things up a bit.

There is a Vic20 Book you might be interested in. https://www.oldcomputr.com/my-book-commodore-vic-20-a-visual-h...

Re: A tribute to Micro-Antics and preserving all their titles
Well done on the preservation and the thoughtful contact with the family.
This is a nice bit of preservation to read through.

Re: Reverse Engineering of JETPAC for VIC-20
Well done, it certainly was an excellent game to look into.
JetPac and Star Defence (especially on fast mode) were very impressive and very playable even 40 years later.
JetPac on the Vic20 is much better than on the Spectrum

Help with cover art project
Please can you help with links to cover art from cassettes? In Gamebase there are about 120 images of the cassette inlays in Extras vs. 2000+ gameplay screenshots. I am looking for good quality inlay scans for a project. I managed to get some using the Wayback machine to look at Arma's tape site. Ar...

Re: Suggestions, please!
If the audience is familiar with the 64, I would suggest popular variations like Gridrunner or Omega Race because they look so different on a VIC. ....Better on the Vic :D Laser Zone is the best Jeff Minter game in my opinion, great sound although Metagalactic Llamas Battle At The Edge Of Time has ...
