I'm new here so I'm not sure what I'm looking at, but I was just reading through "issue26.pdf" It's a long shot but I thought I'd ask: LordRonin and MossyCon5's Adventure Construction Set and other created adventures on page 14 - where did they end up collecting the files? Can I access tho...

1541 machine-gun rattle, ?File Not Found

All, Got my VIC-20 in the mail today! Looks to be in fine working order, but the 1541 I have had in my closet for a while is not doing so well. It's been a couple of years since I fired it up with my C64, so when it failed to find the files on my new Realms of Quest disk, I tried the C64 and media I...

Well I've just been "reborn" after stumbling onto Realms of Quest III and buying a VIC-20 off of e-bay just to enjoy it in floppy goodness, and now I need a 32K expansion! The mega-cart looks great. I'd settle even for a cheap 16K expansion at this point, but eventually want that mega-cart...

Very cool read, thanks!

I was just playing Vicman in the online section and it's a great port, very enjoyable.

I think Sinistar's fast action would be possible with the same sort of vector graphics as used in Omega Race. Just do everything in vector graphics --- Omega Race is very snappy. Big red letters on the screen could be the voice "I HUNGER!" Rather than "downgrading" I'd propose an...

Well, a work-around would be to simply hide the windows taskbar before starting VICE. True, or the auto-hide might be just as good and you wouldn't need to hide it each time you kick off VICE. Personally I like to run in Double Size mode - that way I can read the Realms of Quest manual or multitask...

I just tried 2.2 x64 and don't see this problem in Vista x64, but have you tried playing with the Settings, Video Settings in VICE, checking the optional boxes and changing resolution? With 2.1 the default full VIC-20 screen for me was too large with video settings defaulting at 640x480, with Realms...

This is the PERFECT game for the VIC-20. Well, for an old-school CRPG fan like me. I just picked my premium copy up from binary zone. I actually bought a VIC-20 on e-bay just to enjoy this as it should be enjoyed, but I've been playing in VICE so far (not sure what's wrong ral-clan, do you have &quo...
