Re: DOOM Player

Ah yeah, I just got back on here after a long absence and missed your message about putting Doom on Mega-Cart. Sounds good to me though! I'm sure by now you found the source and latest version on github.

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Erratum: The example on page 3 is under the wrong table. Do you mean under the wrong column? It's a reminder of how to use the addition method of decoding hex. I think the chart above wouldn't need an example. Ah, I understand now. I misunderstood because the example was two digit like the upper ta...

Re: The Queen's Footsteps: Physical release

I got a lovely package in the mail!
Davide and poly.play have done an outstanding job - it looks beautiful, with the cover, the orange disks, the stickers and poster, and the little mirror in a baggie. Feelies worthy of Infocom!

Re: Elon Musks's Blastar (Unexpanded VIC-20 Conversion)

Very interesting!

Re: Graphic Adventure Creator/The Quill - Did the VIC get one?

What are you using to create it on the Beeb?

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

This is awesome. Reminds me of Duckworth's "A Pocket Handbook for the VIC" (but much more nicely formatted). I hadn't heard of this book and can't find a copied archived online. Is it available anywhere? My goal is not to produce an original work. If there's anything I could use, I'd add ...

Re: The Vic-20 launching Oct 2020
