Denial

Isn't that just the ugliest computer you've ever seen? Indeed! :P Nothing like my VIC-20 beauty. They do seem to be plentiful on Ebay and the "newest" hardware of that series, though. I found the matching shoes: http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/reebok-pump-victo...

Hey guys, I run a C64 centric blog and podcast and wanted to do one on the VIC-20. I was going to talk about things like the Mega-cart and Realms of Quest III. Any other topics you want to suggest are welcome. I usually start off my podcasts with SID music or use it in the background -- so my VIC-20...

I would double check - but I was always under the impression that the later DunjonQuest games were expansion packs for the original Temple of Apshai - meaning you needed the original game to load the expansion packs. Can anyone confirm or refute this? That is correct - I tried Drindisti (HW Expansi...

Thanks VIC-20 Ian, I read that the XE "Game Systems" can use the same accessories, but hadn't seen any of them hooked up to old 400/800 floppy drives, etc. (just using cartridges) so I wasn't sure if it had all of the same connectors as the much older Atari computers. What I also didn't wa...

I've seen a lot of the XE "Game Systems" up on Ebay. Aside from the funky pastel design, is there anything wrong with using these so-called "console" XE's as a 400/800 computer?

Thanks Robert, I'll check those out.

Cool idea, I just wish the carts were less generic early 80's arcade games and more unique Commodore type stuff - Cosmic Cruncher, The Count, Road Race, etc.

I'm a big fan of the Dunjonquest series if you didn't already know, and I saw this gem on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170334032608&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT It's a bit pricey for me before I know what I'm getting in to as I have NO Atari home computer experience, ...

BTW, does anyone know if the VIC-20 version of Temple of Apshai is exactly the same (same number of rooms, monsters, etc.) as the C64 version?

Cool details, orion.

As for true C16 RPGs, I had the C16 for several years, and can't remember of a single RPG for this computer

Could this be a job for Ghislain?

Thanks Pedro I'll have to check out those adapters and the instructions on modding a C16 and maybe I'll commit to getting one.

Thanks, Robert, the categories really helped narrow it down (though there were some text adventures thrown into the "RPG" mix). There are also a few non-English titles, but I will ignore those for now. http://plus4world.powweb.com/sl.php?ptid=116 Notable were Bard's Tale 1-3 , Magic Candle...

Sorry to jump in late here, but did the C16 or Plus/4 have any Role-Playing Games? All I've seen in my searches so far are platformers, puzzles, etc. It would seem with the graphic limitations that they would have been better suited to RPGs than action games....?

My idea is that if we don't use 32k for a tool on 2010, when we will use full Vic potentiality ? This is a good point, but I thought it should be limited to the old expansion carts still available via E-bay or that VIC-20 enthusiasts still have rolling around in a box somewhere, not the latest home...

Fantastic!
