Thank you for your explanations.

I have a +16k expansion.
In any case, the game comes up on disk, right? I don't have a disk drive, so probably I will put the d64 file on an SD to play REALMS III on the Vic.

Yes, I'm really excited about to buy a new game for the Vic20... :D

Right. Both of you. I don't know what will happen, but who knows? There are still a lot of clubs about Classic Cars and many people enjoy to collect them. And there are people who repairs them as a job. Who knows if this is the future for retrocomputers as well? Although I love the Speccy (as my nic...

About the unbearable "minor" details...

In the "Mastertronic Collection" thread I found this comment: Nice collection, I've got about half of them. I must admit I'm surprised they released that many. I think my favourite is Psycho Shopper, but once the sound is turned down, Rock Man is also good. New York Blitz never stood a cha...

I remember that one day, probably in 1984, I went to visit my best friend at that time. He had a C64. "Nicola" he said "I got a special tape" "What is it?" I asked "It's a tape with tens of games... saved with the TURBO TAPE!" I was impressed by that tool. In ...

I never heard of it.
What is it, exactly? It's also possible to buy stuff? There is Vic-20 stuff too?
But it could be a good opportunity to visit Stockholm next year... :D

I'm joking, of course: the Spectrum world was quite fascinating also for us 'on the other side of the barricades'. I can see there's still a strong following of Speccy retrocomputerists in the internet, notably from the UK. I've been to England several times, and it seems that the computer of the E...

Wow! This is an interesting story... Your first punishment was to feel guilty for your behaviour, and the second to was to be a spectrumist :P . The fault was ALL of the C64 that charmed me with its multicolour and amazing sound!!! So, I bought a Spectrum, with limited colours and with a beeper sou...
