Pooyan, Popeye and Jumpan Junior

Yes. Pooyan is a very good idea, I think. I am not a programmer, but I'm a decent graphic... I don't know if my help can be needed. In any case, when I was a kid I was a big fan of Popeye. I remember I really wanted to have a port of that game on the Vic. On cartridge, maybe. I remember that the Par...

Garden Wars

Folkoh, I really appreciated your review of Garden Wars! It was the first game I got with my Vic20. It was Christmas, 1984, I think. I got a Vic20, a joystick named "Boss" ( http://www.atariguide.com/10/1003.php ) and a cartridge. Garden Wars. I loved that game and still love it. It's a pe...

Hope you'll enjoy one of the friendliest forums and surely the best for VIC-20 users worldwide :) . :lol: hahahaha! Ok, Orion, ok! I g...

Seem that a friend of mine will give me his Vic-20 wires. AV and RGB scart leads are readily available on eBay if you want a good picture and don't want to spend time fiddling with the RF. Yup! Thank you Invader! Yes, I think I will buy one of them. I never used the Vic on an RGB scart. I've to get...

Never give up

Nice to meet you too. I should have added that after the +3, we returned to the Commodore fold and got an Amiga 500+. Seeing as it was GAME OVER for Sinclair by then, I reckon lots of Spectrum owners did that, or got an Atari ST. Bad news about your VIC stuff btw. Hope you are able to replace it, t...

Greetings

Hello everybody, and nice to meet you all. I am an italian guy, and I was born in 1972. I was one of the lucky boys who got the Vic20 in its golden days. I live in Rome and I recently moved. After the move, I checked for my Vic-20, and I discovered -with HORROR- that a lot of stuff was lost during t...
