This week on The ChickenHead Chronicles We are returning to my Roots: The Commodore VIC-20. Recently in eBay I found a really cool Tape Cassette case from an Estate Sale that still had about 70 VIC-20 tapes in it. Join me as we talk about the Datasette, the history of the tapes and the legacy that I...

This week I am reviewing the really fun Rogue-like Telengard game from Avalon Hill for the Commodore PET, Commodore 64 and now even the VIC-20 computer! What? Yep, some awesome dude named Neo-Rio modified it to run on "The Wonder Machine of the Eighties"!

After finding this thread, I downloaded Telengard for the VIC-20 and loved it! I have now done a video review on my 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast/ChickenHead Chronicles channel.
What a great implementation of one of my favorite games!

I had the pleasure if interviewing Ayd Instone this last week. He is a Physics teacher at Fyling Hall School in England and he has a weekly VIC-20 club meeting for his young teen aged students. The class uses a few real VIC-20's and several pi machines emulating the VIC-20 in real cases! He was a fa...

Good day! I just finished up a fairly lengthy VIC-20 review on my 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast / ChickenHead Chronicles channel. Check it out and take a trip down memory lane with me! Time to pull that VIC-20 out of the closet! This week on my "ChickenHead Chronicles" series, I review the fa...

For those interested, I just uploaded my video review of this great new game! It is on my 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast / The ChickenHead Chronicles YouTube channel. Take a look!

I just uploaded my new review of the brand new "Realms of Quest V" RPG game for the expanded VIC-20. Prepare to be surprised what is possible on our little white wonder! https://youtu.be/0neitxXw_EI

Big fan of the Penultimate Cartridge from The Future Was 8Bit as I can set the RAM to whatever I want without changing out the cartridge. I think 32K is easy enough to get that everyone who want it should be able to get it.

Do you need a new Power Supply for your lovely VIC-20 CR? Check out my latest review of the ATOM power supply from Commodore4Ever - works on newer VIC-20's, C64's and adapters are available for the PLUS/4 and C128. Check it out!

Get an SD2IEC and you can copy VIC-20 problems all day long. If you have a real 1541 you can copy them right to that, too. The same SD2IEC can then just connect right up to your C64 and use the same SD card. Marvelous device.

Without a doubt get the Penultimate cartridge instead. Not only will you get cheese and Onion included, but Rodman and 40+ other games, and 35k memory expansion!

My goodness! Somebody really wants that VIC-20! I was biddng on a C64 in September and we were at about $95 - then it shot up to $3250! I messaged the seller and told him someone was screwing with him - and they killed of the two accounts that jacked it up so high. I ended up winning it at the $95 a...

So is this database stored on an actual VIC-20 with a Datasette? Come on! It can handle it! Adding my two machines today.

I have several new episodes of "The Chickenhead Chronicles" up on YouTube now. This weeks is a review of the really awesome SD2IEC interface that so many of us use. Of course, it works great on the VIC-20! I cover a few file browsers that work as good or better than the FB browser that com...

I have my eye on one, but they are hard to find locally in Tucson. Of course I could order one, but it is not quite at that "I need it" stage. Now, If I saw one on the shelf in Target, I would probably be tempted by it. I have a real C64 and C128 that I already use for a few games - but if...
