VIC Computing or an early Commodore Horizons?

Backed!

Well done Giacomo for reaching this point.
Having helped with the proof reading I already knew how good it was looking - now I can't wait to get my printed book.

Thanks for the link.

If you had put together the best bits of the 1977 Trinity you would have had a great machine.

I guess it will be similar to the C64, where the CIA chip can get fried by inputs on the wrong lines.

Guessing it was manufactured in Europe by Commodore Germany...

I *think* the problem is the way you are sending the command.

Try

He definitely has platform pedigree, having created Felix in the Factory for the BBC, published by Micro Power. But... D...

Excellent news. Will there be any stretch goals or other perks?

Have to say, I'm really impressed with Pulse.
The loading sequence is very clever, and the game is great.

Just want to give a big shout out to pixel for incredible customer service.

Ordered PULSE for a friend Wednesday afternoon.
It arrived this morning.

Dude! That's awesome!
