You can only reliably decode 2 keys pressed at once. Any more than that and the result is ambiguous because you create unintended pathways through the matrix.

Sounds awesome, maybe you can run into the woman in the red dress? :)

If that isn't enough, you can do the S-video mod for better video quality, see: (not sure if a modern TV can handle it though, but it works great on a Commodore 1702 and the like). http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2477 http://sleepingelephant.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/vi...

Sky Blazer

Just got Sky Blazer for my Vic-20, but I can't seem to finish Mission 2. That tank just gets away when I get close to it, so I can't bomb it. Has anyone played this game?

Hm, I haven't noticed any such effect, my LCD is probably fixed at 60 Hz too (most are).

Hm, I don't get it, you get headache from Vice? You want 50 or 60 Hz? When running Vice you can get both.

Well, it is a bit rare, but also maybe not that sought-after either. You already got a buyer or what? I'd like one myself :)
From old posts here on the forum I guess they're in the $100-200 price range and it seems like someone sold one for $400 at one time. That's boxed though. Is your boxed?

Well, the Vic is a more powerful machine to be sure, maybe it's time for a better version of Atlantis for the Vic.
