Denial

Thanks a lot, will try again following your hint!

Good afternoon everybody! I have tried to load the "invaders" game by saving it on a SD card, and then put it into an FE3. I then load it by typing LOAD "INVADERS.PRG",8 The program is apparently loaded but then it crashes badly reporting a syntax error. I'm not much deep into th...

Mmmmmmmmmh do you feel that the FE3 has been neglected, by comparison?

Ah, OK, thanks... I kinda figured there must have been a "natural" solution for this, as I don't recall any other home computer or videogame that required manually centering the screen (although they may exist some of which I'm unaware, of course). So for the games that are "non-movab...

Please excuse the very trivial question; I'm almost sure that I'm the only one who doesn't know the reason, and quite surely it has been asked before. Since when I was a kid I have always wondered why some VIC cartridges - mostly games, or perhaps all of them were games - require recentering the scr...

Thank you Robert, it was an interesting reading (although some points were covered quite the same way on Giacomo Vernoni's book). Since Tomczyk repeats so often that he is glad to receive mails from past and present Commodore users, one of these days I have to put down a pair of lines. Does anybody ...

Ciao fraural, lieto di conoscerti (sono stato assente da queste pagine per quasi due anni)! Sì è vero: questo è un forum amichevole proprio come il VIC, e inoltre è uno dei pochi forum internazionali che conosco che abbia sufficiente "massa critica" affinché anche la sua sotto-sezione in i...

I've read back with amusement my comments to that thread that - my goodness! - dates back to almost ten years ago now! It is absolutely evident that at the time I was at a peak minimum appreciation for IBM compatibles, terminals and alike! :lol: I haven't changed much opinion in the meanwhile, but f...

Visto che si è tornati sull'argomento multislot, aggiungo a questo vecchio thread qualche fotografia del mio mitico Trislot, che a suo tempo non avevo caricato forse perché non ancora dotato di smartphone che potesse fare foto da vicino. :mrgreen: Come dicevo qualche anno fa, quando dopo un'attesa i...

What an xcellent finding and what a nice addition to your remarkable collection! And it's even boxed - almost unbelievable! 8) I especially like the Commodore-wannabe lettering and colour of the box, it nearly looks like a genuine Commodore item! This unit very closely recalls me of the VIC Trislot ...

Che articolo simpatico!!! Niente di nuovo ovviamente, ma un "ripasso" si fa sempre volentieri quando c'è di mezzo il VIC! :D Ha anche ritirato fuori quella foto del giovanotto che dice che il VIC è "un computer da sballo", con quel vistoso SYNTAX ERROR sovrapposto sul grafico a s...

He actually like games, I've just seen a video of him installing an anti-hum accessory in his two Vectrex units, and there might be some cool stuff hidden below the huge pile of clips he has done so far. I've heard him mentioning a cooperation video that he made with TheEightBitGuy - or whatever the...

Recently, due to a clip dedicated to gramophones, about which I happen to be more or less a sort of "expert", I came in contact with the clips of a YouTuber named TechMoan, who is a very amusing fellow who shows and demonstrates in an ironic and intelligent way a *huge* lot of things that ...

Four of four different variants. Definitely from a collection.

Very interesting, but despite the author's recommendation to not desume general figures out of local observations ("at my school..." etc.), in my opinion the sales figures for the Sinclair home computers were grossly overestimated by their Italian manager. Almost everybody had Commodore ho...
