All I can add is that Ladbroke's is a legitimate betting franchise in the UK (for placing bets on sports, etc.). It's still around:

[...] Also make sure to enable full 35K, this is most likely the cause for the crash. ... and, while doing so, please use a known working combination of one of your VIC-20s and RAM expansions capable of providing +3 5 K! You posted about issues with that particular configuration already in 2018, se...

I tried this a little bit today, what I found out is: - the game NEEDS to be loaded from drive #8. It seems hardcoded to load the other parts from that device number. - I connected a second drive with #8, having the original uIEC set to #9. I then switched the original drive to #10 and the uIEC to ...

Would this be helpful (see pdf page 16 - printed page number 24)?

Hi, I just bought the 8-bit guy's game "Attack of the PETSCII Robots" and can get it running in VICE, but cannot get it to run on my real VIC-20. Has anyone else had luck running this game on a real VIC-20? https://www.the8bitguy.com/product/petscii-robots/ I have used both the Mega-Cart a...

Oh my gosh! One of my favourite C64 games on the VIC-20! I never would have thought it possible!

(mod: post moved from Announcement section to here. See here: viewtopic.php?t=9969)

What is this a competition for exactly? You don't say. I assumed it's a programming competition, because most VIC-20 / C64 competitions are. But then I thought about the possibility of art/music done with already programmed VIC-20 applications, so I thought I'd better ask. There's also the possibili...

Your text adventures are a pleasure to play. I'm looking forward to this one!

This thread feels like it was written for me! I've wanted to learn machine language on the VIC for....well, ever since I first heard about it (1980?)!

When you say unreleased do you mean you've programmed this, but not released it yet, or it's an unreleased Atari prototype?

A bit of a tangent: I'm surprised there was never a version SpeedScript for the PET like there was for almost every other in the 8-bit line. Seems like with its nice crisp monitor, 80 columns (on the 8000 models), good RAM availability and nice keyboard it would have been a fine match. Also, I'm sur...

My thought, having been exposed to Commodore hardware for 40 years, is that they often mixed and matched pieces they had on-hand in the factory, especially when ending one run of parts and starting another. So the motherboard may have been a left over from the earlier line, when they switched to the...

I finished it. I had to draw out all the maps by hand.
It was a very good game. The only thing that was a little tedious was that the dungeon view only shows three squares ahead, and there is no compass indicator, which makes mapping rather tedious. However, that those issues have been fixed.

I like the look of your custom character graphics.

Oh my gosh! That spell would have been so helpful when I was playing the game. I suppose I can use it as a point of pride I completed the game before this was implemented - but I think it's a good feature as it can remove some of the monotony and frustration from dungeon exploration, since you can o...
