Re: VIC 20 book on Kickstarter
I've just had chance to view the pdf in some detail on a proper a screen and agree with all the previous comments, it looks absolutely stunning. The photography is simply incredible, a fantastic level of detail, just about the right level of geekiness in the motherboard and keyboard designs, some wo...

Re: New release : Pentagorat (32k)
I did notice it, but I must admit I didn't give it much thought at the time. Thinking about it now it does make sense and put the game in context.

Re: New release : Pentagorat (32k)

Re: New release : Pentagorat (32k)
With regard to the physical release, I love the actual cassette, great choice of colour. My only (slight) criticism would be that some of the print on the inlay is a little tricky to read, but all in all a great package.

Re: Release: CBC News App (RSS Reader)
This looks such a cool application that I have just placed my order for a Wimodem. I can't wait to start playing around with this and the modem, can't quite believe my VIC will be able to talk to (or at least listen to) the outside world.

What a great way to end the year, with a new physical release for the VIC, can't wait to try it out.

Re: What kind of display did you use in the early days?
A small B/W portable with a dial tuner. At the time I think the main family TV was still B/W as well, so no colour anywhere in the house.

Re: VIC 20 book on Kickstarter
Pledged
I really hope this gets funded as it looks stunning. There have been lots of retro books recently and it is about time the VIC got it's own publication. Good luck with the campaign.

Re: Games of the Vic20 book?
Correct Mayhem, it is a collection of Wikipedia articles. A friend of mine got it for me for Christmas. The articles are of varying length and quality, some with only a passing mention of the VIC 20 and some (like The Wizard and the Princess) not actually related to the VIC 20 release. The print qua...

Re: New release : Super Starship Space Attack (16k)
Super Starship Space Attack got a glowing review in issue 1402 of Micro Mart in the UK last month. The individual ratings for the game were: Graphics 8/10 Sound 8/10 Presentation 7/10 Value for Money 10/10 Overall 9/10 I think the final paragraph says it all: It's hard to believe that any game could...
