Re: Beta test for Silk Dust, a new text adventure

Mine arrived today ☺️. I'm VERY happy with it, congratulations to you Davide for this excellent adventure, and a very apt soundtrack.

Also, great package with "feelies" just like the old school ones.

Two thumbs up! 👍 👍

Re: VIC-20 Christmas Demos?

Salvatore "Tore" Saver71 of the VIC 20 Italian community released a great Christmas demo back in October: https://superottanta.blogspot.com/2022/ ... vic20.html

The page is in Italian, but I guess you'll figure out with automatic translation.

Re: Espansion 8k+

...and here we are, after all these years: the revenge of the poor VIC boy :) (reminds me of the Plus/4 I bought on Ebay five years ago. It was a bit of a compensation for the one I never received when I was 18: it was supposed to come as a bonus for buying a set of dishes, but the seller was a scam...

[ITA] Matteo Caccia su Radio24: la rivincita dei nerd

Cari amici, piangiamo un po' per la nostalgia di quel magico 1981 ascoltando questo breve podcast. La prima parte riguarda la testimonianza di un bambino di allora che acquistò il VIC-20 in centro a Bologna, da un ottico (!); la seconda invece è dedicata a Jeff Minter e ai suoi cammelli mutanti. Buo...

Re: Can I Buy a VIC-20 Style Keyboard for Emulation?

Best solution would be to directly connect a real VIC keyboard through a Keyrah inside the empty shell.
