I'm using a similar cable on both my VIC & C16, I got mine from ebay seller Retrocomputershack, it's works lovely and is very well made. I also bought a SCART lead for my speccy +2 from them and that is up to the same high standards.

There is RACE FUN by Rabbit software, it's similar. youtube video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUNKleS0DwU

Might be worth having a look on amibay instead. But prices on old PC stuff have gone through the roof this year, that's for sure.

I have a boxed copy of DIG DUG with German stickers on the box, so I assume it is PAL, certainly doesn't seem too fast on PAL machine.

I decided to take the plunge this weekend and buy a Commodore 16 off ebay. I've always been curious about the VIC's replacement machine,often saw the games on shelves but never got to try one out before, so settled on this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-16-Computer-with-Tape-Deck-PSU-Games...

After all this time it seems I'm not alone with the bugged version of this game. Chinnyvision on youtube also has the same broken copy as me.

Thanks for all the info The arcade game was almost certainly Sea Wolf, thanks!
Will keep my eye's open for a VIC copy on ebay.
Just got a composite video cable to replace my RF, much nicer picture, no more ghosting.

All the best,
Chris

hi folks, just came across this video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3pQdcZPNOhM The arcade version of this game was the first video game I ever played back in the late 70's. Pretty sure it was in black & white and had a big periscope on the cabinet. Anyone know the title of that arc...

Hiya All,

just set up the trusty VIC again after 3 years!

Mine is a 2 prong 9v, made in West Germany serial is :WG B 38820

Really having a lot of fun playing with the old beast again

I really like Invaders by Livewire, it plays a fast game and looks a lot like the originial SI. Impressive for unexpanded machine. I also really like the cover art

OK I have done a quick video, easier that describing. sorry about the qulity, it's just a old iPhone.

Hi Ian, don't think it's the VIC as I have loaded ALL those games you sent and everything works fine(I'm having a great day playing so far, some of the games are great, and all have at least been interesting) ! Must be a duff copy, I just wondered if Mastertronic released a faulty version or one tha...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to play the above game on a real Vic, original Tape etc. It loads fine, first time every time, but when you start the game, the character is in a cul-de-sac in the centre of the screen. The only way to go is up, but when you do its instant death, every time!! There don't seem to ...

Someone else here on the forum helped me out Mayhem. Have a box of stuff winging its way here this week. But thanks anyway!

All the best,
