Re: Castle Queen

I don't think it's TAP files in general. I've been using TAP files pretty extensively recently, and they're always perfectly well-behaved. There's no reason they should ever vary in VICE (I'm in 3.5). Maybe there's some IRQ thing that happens that depends upon or is affected by a timer in some way?...

Re: Boulder Dash Preview

Someone from BGG (who currently own the rights to Boulder Dash) is aware of this, and they are looking to licence and maybe put out a release. So we shall see if that transpires...

Re: ZEPTOPOLIS

Etsy has an IOSS number that they put on the form when I purchase shipping through them. They collect VAT and suggest writing the value on the package so that buyers don't need to pay VAT twice. I'd like to hear what Orion70's experience is when the package shows up, to see if anything extra needed...

Re: ZEPTOPOLIS

My understanding of customs charges to the E.U. is that it only applies if the value is €150 or more. I'll write the actual price on the package, so if my understanding is correct, you should be good. Sadly that changed last month. The limit for any item coming into the EU from outside is now zero....

Re: HEScard 20

I opened the box, got the board in there... no manual! So either my copy is missing it, or it never came with one (which sounds unlikely). Sorry!

Re: HEScard 20

I do have a boxed HEScard20 at my place, I'll be there tonight, I can check the manual at least and see what it says (I'm assuming there's a manual!). Or photo any pages up that revalent to confirm your suspicions.

Re: Archon - Unexpanded VIC 20 Version

As per my comment on FB, get some +8k RAM in there (or a cartridge version!) and make it 100% to the original heh. Stunning for what there is already though.

Re: Australian type-in cricket game?

I've got one cricket game in GB20, Test Match published on Vic Computing issue #7. Dunno if this is the same game or not.

Re: Bengo - Mr Micro

This reminded me to check... no, it wasn't in even the latest GB20. So good to have a version to add to the library.

Re: Bengo - Mr Micro

Can’t recall if I have added Bengo since the last release of GB20. It’s been a few years..! Becoming a father didn’t help either heh...

Re: Key Quest Cartridge

Retro Gamer Magazine said there was only one known copy of this game https://www.retrogamer.net/top_10/top-ten-commodore-vic-20-games/ , but I just snagged a copy on eBay, so there are at least two now. :) This is an awesome VIC-20 game, especially since it is from 1983. I would highly recommend do...
