I didn't know they made a C64 version. I always thought it was an Amiga thing like Zool or Sensible Soccer. I know the Mega Drive version very well.

Would it even be possible for a game as complex as Lemmings to be programmed by a single individual?

I imagine any VIC-20 version would be greatly reduced from the original concept. The C64 might be a stronger bet.

To clarify, you need to go into the settings menu, click on VIC settings and select 16k to run a 16k game, or whichever k is relevant to the game you want to play.

You may also find that some games require true drive emulation in order to run properly. You can find this in the options menu.

I recently bought a copy of VIC Graphics. I've had to wait for a super-expander cartridge though. I found one on e-bay and just paid for it today. So, hopefully, in the next few days, I'll be discovering the joys of high resolution graphics.

VICE emulates the VIC-20, the C64, the C128 and the PET.

I think you're the one who's confused, mate.

Why not download a VICE emulator and look in the 16k ROM section in either Zimmers or www.theoldcomputer.com? You'll probably recognise the title when you see it.

I don't know what you see in the Commodore 64. The only game I've ever liked on it is Ghostbusters (for obvious reasons).

Moderation is like communism. It's a nice idea, but it just doesn't fit in with human behaviour.

Lock-down, shut-down, break-down. Time for something new.

Hypocrisy rather than hypocracy.

I don't have any pictures, but at the primary school I attended it was customary for each pupil to be given a book upon leaving for secondary school. My book was about computers and I still have it to this very day. The inside page reads: For Simon On your Leavers' Service July 22 1992 Every good wi...

I saw one of the original PET keyboard VICs on e-bay a few weeks ago. It went for about £800. That is absolutely insane. Seriously. £799.99 was the stipulated Buy It Now price. It's no longer there so it must have been either sold or withdrawn. I find it hard to believe that someone would even want...

It's definitely the datasette. The one I normally use works perfectly. This is just a broken one I picked up on e-bay to use as a guinea pig.
