Hi All, I've added a bunch more tapes. This completes the lot from Centallica. All the new additions are dated Dec. 27 at the above URL. I believe there may be a few errors on these - specifically the Majestic 12 one as there only seems to be 7 or so programs on the tape. Anyhow, enjoy. My work is d...

You can grab everything from here. More will be added as I get to them.

To be honest, I haven't tested any of them extensively so I don't know whether they work 100% or not. I'll add more when I get time - maybe later this week.

Edit: Oops... url corrected.

A couple of what exactly?
Seeing as I know what's being talked about here, I'm anxiously awaiting RB's response to this. :twisted:

It would surprise me if Shatner even remembers doing the Vic 20 spots. Oh, yes. He remembers, because every year I bring him C= stuff to autograph. This year it was the casing of a SX-64 and a 1530 Datasette. His best line a few years ago when he was signing my VIC-20, "Are they still in busin...

Yes, me too. I can't imagine having to be tied to one or the other anymore. The notebook is obviously good for the on-the-go type stuff, or just chilling out in IRC on the couch or something. When you get into stuff like video editing and things like that, forget about the notebook. Those little guy...

I'll try to dump the tapegames. I haven't dumped VIC-games before, just C64-games. How do I dump a VIC game? Can I use the C64 and MTap/PTap? // Z Yes, a C64 plus TAPSERV and mtap on the PC side works like a charm. That's how I did all my VIC tapes just the other day. Just make sure to specify the ...

I was making TAPs of a bunch of my old VIC-20 tapes last night and that got me thinking about this topic. I remember playing 2 games quite clearly on a friend's VIC before I got mine. One was Cosmic Cruncher and the other was this game. Does anybody have an idea the proper name for it? I've never kn...

I normally couldn't care less about a box for something like this, but somehow this particular project seems worthy. Everyone involved has worked so hard, it deserves to have a pro finish.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting anything Commodore related for Christmas. Those days I thought were long over. However, to my very big surprise, I received an Enhancer 2000 disk drive equipped with a RAMBOard. I couldn't believe my eyes!

I'm pretty sure that wasn't Golan's Plus/4 even though it was right beside his table.

Looks like you guys had a great time again. So sorry I missed it, but the 2 parades in the cold had sucked the energy out of me for the day.

Centallica: Glad you had no problem finding a 4th for Iron Maiden! I didn't think you would, who would turn that down? ;)

Water Salad! How awesome is that name? I noticed the engrish.com label. One of my favourite websites to kill a boring afternoon at work.
