While "doodling" on excel, I came up with http://ravenxau72.googlepages.com/vixel.jpg Now, having done some VBA programming with excel - i know that it should be able to match a vic running a basic program. I thought i might have a go at trying to code an excel version of rocket command fr...

I'm also going to miss the screenshots the most. It's even more motivation to get the wiki going. I am still waiting on help from anyone who could install it. ( groan , I suck at MySQL ) my friends and i always used to refer to MySQL as "mysquirrel" - when things stuffed up you had been &...

found 1 quirk/bug while running on x64 in vice - the keyboard mapping for peek(203) is wrong. Most basic programs such as jeff's zombie yard seem to play ok.

34 y.o. here - 1982, 10 y.o. - father buys unexpanded vic20 - after about 2 weeks of learning how to enter and save programs onto the cassette drive the program rocket command is entered from the vic manual - joy ensues and a life long passion for video games is born. - ahhh the memories

I used to use a 1084 with my VIC, but fter Christmas I bought a new 20" TV with a flat tube display. It looks GREAT. Although the old 1084 still had a great picture, the colors on the TV are a lot brighter and, of course, the screen is much bigger. Being a purist, I kind of debated getting the...

I did get it to work on a 128-d, worked quite well - even wrote a few games on it.

I believe Star Commander can un-lynx files. Marko Mäkelä's cbm-convert should in theory handle them too, but I got an unexpected error on that particular file. Ultimate Lynx 3 on the C64 works though. It is best run from a D64 image with true disk emulation. The emulator (or perhaps simulator) in q...

It's a little off-topic, but you should know that Tripod sucks for hosting avitars.

crap - i never noticed that tripod stuffed up my avatar - any suggestions for a better place to store it?

VIC AVENGER and Car Chase - the I discovered tape trading

I did something similar when i was younger - mounted a light dependent resistor inside a black tube - about 6 inches long - connected the wires to the paddle input on the vic. In a dark room it could register the difference between a white square and a black background from about 4 feet distance. So...

I think pdf's would be the way to go - just my opinion
