I just played this yesterday for the first time (the MMX version). The gameplay is amazing and the speech really adds to the games.

Its hard to choose between the VIC and the C64 version now. Brilliant.

The very first computer I ever used was a friend's VIC-20 back in 1983. I remember being really impressed with the machine. It had a real keyboard too, not the rubber keys on the speccy. That Xmas I got a C64 and I still use it daily. I'm a Commodore collector, and early last year I picked up a VIC-...

Cartridge Display Shifted Left

I have just taken delivery of some cartridge games for my trusty VIC. However, the display is shifted to the left on all but The Count (which I guess is fine as it's a text adventure).

You might be interested in the VIC-20 file browser for the 1541U which offers a user interface like that of the 1541U and, amongst other things, allows you to select BASIC load addresses.

If you decide to sell separately, I wouldn't mind the Programmer's Reference Guide and a couple of the carts.

PM me if you decide on that route :)

My nick is based on my surname, simple really :D New to these forums after digging out my VIC-20. Now have a 16k expansion (gotta love eBay) and am thinking the VIC-20 version of Jetpac kicks the Speccy version all over the screen. Have ordered the Mega-Cart, just awaiting payment instructions.
