One of those complete Boone carts was a bit weird because it went for less than I paid for the 2 loose ones I have currently sitting in my hands! (I'm currently on holiday in the US, but like that stops my bidding! The carts went to my friend to avoid import duty and I'll be bringing them back with...

Vic-20 Connect 4 Assembly Program

Has anyone seen or have this program? I remember having a Connect 4 program in the 80's for the Vic-20 and was wondering if this was the same one?

If not here it is, if I only knew what to do with it :?

Re: Want to Buy: Transfer Cable

I have many programs I want to share here. I need a new transfer cable. I can pay up to $50US (or even more if needed) for parts and shipping.
