Hi there, I've recorded in VicPal mode, but the tapes are also PAL tapes too. Its possibly something to do with the XE1541 method i'm using with Tapserv ... or the bit of dirt I found on the tape heads :).... Due to have another big conversion attempt very soon... so i'll try again I think with this...

English Invaders (Rabbit)

I have the original, but all my stuff is packed away for a future house move.. so i'm reliving my childhood Christmas' via emulation this year. I can't find a converted version an...

I really enjoyed it!.... I think for a first attempt it is very good, even if it was a second/third attempt! :) So it was a Mr Micro game? Does this mean that the game is previously unreleased?.... If so, i've been after covering a Vic 20 game for a Games That Weren't feature i'm doing for Retro Gam...

Thanks guys for the replies!... I was just curious really, as so much at the moment has just stunned me on the Vic 20 compared to the days of playing Omega Race. Of course, I would be amazed to see the hi-res mode used with all 16 colours... but if its not to be, then the Vic 20 has done enough with...

Pushing the Vic 20

There's some quite stunning demos on the Vic 20 in recent years, and most as stunning as the C64 demos we see. One thing the C64 has done recently has seen effects where the maximum resolution has been used, with all 16 colours... even a bit of interlacing too. Do you think this is something the Vic...

I love Omega Race!.... the first game I played on the Vic 20, and far far better than the C64 version! I recently dug out some old audio tapes that I made with friends as a child, and there's bits on there with me and my old best friend playing Omega Race and going a bit hyperactive over it! :) Othe...
