Post here everytime you get something new for your Vic

[Mayhem]

The datasette I use with my Vic20 I aligned using a program on the C64. I swap between the two machines. The 1531 I have for my TAP transfers I aligned using a PC based signal strength program and running it through a few tapes to see where the best position was. I still have to adjust every so often for some cassettes however.

as well as a math game called (wait for it) Math Duel.

I don't have Math Duel in GB20 so the usual applies for submission here

Received recently from Zeela's sale: Dracula (Anirog), Zipper (Scand Soft) and Submariner (Krypton Force).

I'd first expect to see a ?LOAD ERROR.

It assumes the loading went far enough that you got a program into the computer. If the alignment is really bad, once you get to the cassette buffer (FOUND program) it can bail out with ?OUT OF MEMORY, which I think has to do with the buffer gets full of garbage.

Speaking of which, I will be having a slim down of my Vic20 tape stuff at some point, so I can let you guys fight it out for anything you want that I happen to let go (no, NOT Mount Drash hah hah!).

oh, I'd better start saving then.....

somewhat off topic: any of you guys collect c16/plus4 tapes?
Not sure how many were released. I've got about 320.

Success! I tried a different Datasette and got Time Destroyers and Blockbuster to both load in. After all that, neither of them were very good, unfortunately... :/ but at least they work!

Mayhem, assume I'm new and slightly stupid. What do you need me to do to help you add Math Duel to gb20? I have a real Vic but don't use any emulator. I'd be willing to mail you the package for copying and scanning if you promise to send it back before we're old men.

[Mayhem]

It might be easier going to someone in the US if they volunteer. I'd need the inlay scanning at 300dpi and a TAP made of the tape itself.

Thanks to the ever vigil Mat I have just acquired myself a lovely copy of Rescue at Rigel:



It cost me a fortune (doesn't everything!?) but I'm very happy.

I'm pretty easy about Aggressor but it's a bonus that it's a new copy...

An unused and still in the original package and plastic wrapping Commodore 1200 modem arrived today from America. I am actually reluctant to open it. I will make sure I have a number to ring (a BBS that would still work with it) before I use it.

[bokvamme]

Btw which Cobra have you just won? I've got four of them listed in GB20...!

Will need to check later. I've not got the package yet.

Just Won Abductor, Quasimodo and Gunslinger for £1.04 + free postage and a Boxed Q Bert cart for £5 + 1.50 p&p which I bought as it is surprisingly NOT on Megacart or Gamebase Vic20 0.2 !

Is is a rare cart or just that it is not archived / protected?

[Mayhem]

Yeah, Q*Bert is in there, you have to account for an asterisk being the second character in your search...

I saw those auctions, the Quasimodo is the Ace Software version already in GB20 otherwise I would have bid...

[Vic20-Ian]

I found it before but no game was playable, see it now in CART under extras. Thanks.

Swamp Monster by Ala Software.

I saw the auction end without a bid on it. You negotiate for it afterwards? Another one for the eventual GB20 pot...

[Pedro Lambrini]

I won a lovely looking Vic Modem:



I also just bought a copy of a game called Dodge Cars. I haven't heard of it before but I can't share a piccy as it's embedded in the page and I don't know how to save it.

Anyway there are another 2 fo sale here:

So, if anyone is after it there's one to buy. Also, it contains pictures!

I also just bought new copies of Swarm! and Sidewinder:





Today has been a good eBay day! That's if all these goodies arrive!
