Heiankyo- er, Super Alien
http://kiblitzing.blogspot.com/2014/01/can-you-dig-it-heiankyo-alien-and.html I just wanted to direct your attention to my latest article, which discusses the Japanese title Heiankyo Alien and its offspring.

I wish you the best of luck with this. I don't have my hopes up; apparently the guy running the auction has toyed with VIC-20 fans in the past, claiming to have a prototype but providing little in the way of evidence. If you win, at least test it and get back to us with your findings. If it plays Wi...

The news was met with similar skepticism on AtariAge, which is unfortunate. Nevertheless, the auction's already up to forty dollars with no signs of stopping. I'm really hoping it turns out to be legit... I've been waiting FOREVER for this one. If the game won't autostart when inserted into a VIC-20...

This was corroborated by multiple sources... Jack used to order parts from other companies, not pay them, and continue to order parts he had no intention of buying until the companies went bankrupt. He would then buy the companies in liquidation and forgive his own debts. That's not ruthless; it's t...

There's always a rush to lionize these individuals after they die, but is Jack Tramiel worthy of the praise? He was actually a louse, as documented in this lengthy article: http://www.filfre.net/2012/04/computers-for-the-masses/ I loved Commodore, I really did. But Tramiel was an awful person, and I...

VIC-20 cartridges fit in a Nintendo DS! Who knew?
Well, that's the word from this eBay seller, anyway. Click the link and marvel at how a VIC-20 cartridge can be inserted into a Nintendo DS of the same size. http://cgi.ebay.com/IMAGIC-DRAGONFIRE-dragon-fire-VIC-20-video-game-RARE-/390216477697?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Video_Games_Games&hash=item5ada...
