Denial

As an add-on to the SNES here. Apparently it was Miyamoto who asked Yamauchi for the N64 to be on solid state to remove loading times for the early projects he was working on (including SM64). Except for that, I imagine Nintendo may well have made the N64 an optical based system too. Now if they'd b...

Especially when they list the weight at 3 tons!

Probably because a lot of people never got to see N64 graphics in proper RGB glory. The NTSC machine had to be modded to get it (as mine was) and the PAL machine couldn't do it full stop. There is a wealth of great games out there, but the machine suffered in the wake of the "oh look pretty CD ...

I've got some Imagine tapes here I can make TAPs of at least. And others. And cart/box scans if wanted. Just need time!

Never heard of Amidar, Bewitched or Frantic as carts, you sure they are actually that format?

I'll be hitting the first one to replace the (possibly) faulty one I currently have.

As I said Star Battle seems to turn up fairly often in the UK. Why I don't really know, unless it was one place where it and Jelly Monsters got sold sufficiently before the court case.

No Galaxian version would ever really work on the Vic20's display due to the screen orientation and nature of Vic graphics (ie. they tend to be a bit wide). I recall prefering the Atarisoft version slightly more myself (it's been a while since I played either) but neither are exactly easy to find (t...

I don't believe any emulator image of the game exists outside of the TAP I did for the author of the game itself. That's why he asked me to do it for him (along with some other adventures he'd written) from his originals. So it's TAP or nothing. I'll have a look for it, I'm sure he won't mind it bei...

I've got a TAP I did of a text adventure called Nosferatu sitting on my HD here...

@Xanadu - I have around 120 complete Vic20 carts here and about 20 loose, so once you're done, let me know what you still need and I can fill some gaps. Remember also there are name variations to deal with (eg. Jupiter Lander = Super Lander, Midnight Drive = Road Race etc) packaging wise. @Mika - hi...

Connectors have been cleaned, a usual procedure whenever I get second hand carts. Though I guess I could give it another go. As for opening it, I'll have a look to see if it's easy or not first...

Well I was randomly pressing some buttons and got to the level editor, so it is in there. You can also save them out as I also randomly found it asking me for tape, disk or abort following some other button press(conclusion being you can load them in). Sounds like I might have a borked cart then sad...

Anyone else got a real Lode Runner cart for Vic20? Just got a copy of it, plug it in, title screen comes up. Can access the level editor, but when I try to start the game, the screen wraps in and then the computer crashes to a Ready prompt. Want to know if this is a problem with the cart, or the fac...

If only I hope so, that other people (yes, I'm looking at you Mika!) are able to get the game as well. UMD was a special case though... it truly depends if there ARE actually more spare copies of Miner2049er out there for people to sell. But we'll see...
