I have a scanner, it's just the time in being able to put them together that I rather lack quite often...!

Thank you - it would be nice to see them scanned and uploaded somewhere. I'd love to get my hands on the SoftPost one (ones?). How many SoftPost catalogues were there? I remember seeing a stack of Vic20 cartridges for sale at super cheap prices - including the elusive Super Expander I always wanted. :-) I waited 4 weeks to get a letter back saying "Discontinued" Boo hoo. The C64 game screenshots were the source of envy back then!

Can we get these uploaded somewhere? I'd like to find the one that came with my Vic (circa Sep 1981).

I'm surprised they not available on bombjack.org. Perhaps we should offer them to David?

I have scanned two Vicsoft catalogues for those interested. I believe these are not on online anywhere at the time of writing.

Spring 83: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Al5pK-Cw2qZIg8V8mAH ... A?e=uqTwHh

Autumn 83: https://1drv.ms/b/s!Al5pK-Cw2qZIg8V9IO ... A?e=H7fVfh

I didn't want to un-staple them, so they aren't perfect at the edges or in horizontal alignment.

I have emailed Bombjack the above info with the hope of being included on there. Looks like all that's missing is the summer edition - I'm not sure when the last Vic oriented Vicsoft was published?
