Heh... I've got Cuthbert in Space for the C64 somewhere ;)

Crater Raider is basically a flip screen game where you have to jump craters and avoid objects such as saucers or meteorites hitting you. Pretty much it really.

I've got another couple shortly, one that needs to remain in TAP form somewhere and one as it isn't in GB20, can be PRGed up.

I'm sure you'll all be glad to hear that now I am home, that the expensive cartridges all work fine on my machine ;) Mobile Attack is quite like the old arcade Targ, not a bad play indeed. Just need a way to dump the cart out. Cyclon is already out there I think, not sure about Crater Raider. That i...

I'm off home on Sunday, but pretty much got the rest of my time here "allocated" to various plans except for the day home itself. I'd also have no real way to get up there without going with the friend I'm staying with. Much that she is into games herself, she's having to work some hours d...

Sadly I don't have GB20 in front of me (being on holiday) but not sure if it's in there or not. If not, we'd want it!

Well I've got two vapourware carts (as of when Ward was doing the list) in my collection : Key Quest by Tymac and Frogman by OEM. So erm... duh... forget my above statement, I DO have an OEM game in my collection. A previously unknown one until a couple of months ago! Sadly with no way to dump them ...

I work for HP and do oncall work as well; last year's pay was over $60k (before tax). Admitedly more impressive if I actually lived in the US as the cost of living there is a lot lower than it is in and around London where I am. As for the Vic20 cart collection itself, I figure I'm at about the 75% ...

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 ...

I try and collect everything for the machines I'm into. I also try and preserve everything too. Why my C64 site exists pretty much! I'm not aiming to sell anything I get, it's all part of my collection. Until such time where I'm forced to parse bits off I guess. But I hope that never happens. And ye...

Thankfully being in Europe, Markus Brenner was kind enough to supply me not only with a modified 1541-II for parallel transfer, but a rare handmade XEP1541 cable to use it with. Needless to say he's got some good cash and items in exchange :)

Rip carts to tape? Could be useful. I have a few carts here in need of dumping. Might ask to borrow the unit. But that's in the future as I'm off on holiday next week. Will have to wait for now :)

I just obtained shrinked copies of "Fun with Music" and "Temple of Apshai" from Germany and I opened them both as I wanted to try them both out. However if there's a way for me to open it and leave the shrink on, I'll do it. Protects the box if anything :P And I rechecked the auc...
