Wow! A true gem... wonder if it still exists somewhere.
It would be interesting to list all the VIC-20 variants, complete with references (articles, pictures, videos).

Ummm....I've seen that page before, but I don't know if we've discussed it. It would be great to see a good photo of it.

We're talking about the VIC-20 with the built-in Watchman, right?
In the end it will be as if nothing ever happened.

I have always thought that was a stupid idea. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to see the screen! Even with the VICs large letters.

Here's the GBA's 2.9 inch screen running a VIC 20 program:

Is that a GBA actually running Vic 20 games via emulation, or something just using its screen and running a real Vic 20?

Just ask, as i've only seen really a Spectrum emulator for the GBA, but not a Vic 20 one.

It's a VIC 20 game ported to the TurboGrafx 16 and run on a PC Engine emulator on the GBA.
