Good afternoon, this is England calling :-)
Hi All,
been reading the forum for the last few days & it's made me want a VIC!
Anyhow I'm 41, live in Devon and want to play Avenger & Jelly Monsters again
I posted a topic in buy/sell for a request to buy a system(who needs eBay grief?!?).
Have a couple of other questions too:
Can the PAL Vic-20 play NTSC carts like the Imagic titles etc?
Also is there a list of Mastertronic releases for the VIC anywhere?
Anyhow, nice to be here,All the best,
Chris

Welcome
I do have a few of those spare at the moment, if you're interested.
Yes, although there may be graphical side effects (glitching) and speed issues because the games are written to work on NTSC machines, and will be slower on PAL. I've not encountered a lot of obvious problems and I've tested over 2000 games on the Vic20!ridgerunner wrote:Can the PAL Vic-20 play NTSC carts like the Imagic titles etc?
3D Maze, Bullet, Crazy Cavey, Doodle Bug, Duck Shoot, Hektik, King Tut, Neutron Zapper, New York Blitz, Phantom Attack, Psycho Shopper, RIP, Rockman, Space Scramble, Sub Hunt, Undermine, Vegas Jackpot.ridgerunner wrote:Also is there a list of Mastertronic releases for the VIC anywhere?

I was watching that VIC too. I think that one was an early model, so maybe some people suspected it might be one with the more collectible PET keys and it developed into a bidding frenzy
£82 is not a usual price for a working VIC. I bagged one last month for £24 including postage comprising a vic, power supply, boxed avenger and omega race carts, boxed ram cart and motherboard, a super expander cart, joystick, mags, old commodore VICSOFT software catalogues and best of all a boxed speech synth cartridge! And a couple of working modulators thrown in!
It just needs a bit of luck and persistence...

I imagine this auction would be ideal for you RidgeRunner, if only the seller wasn't doing it collect only...

Nice! Now you only need a RAM expansion and a SD2IEC card reader.
