Hi, I'm trying to set up the Gamebase20_V03 database use the Gamebase frontend (v1.3), but when I try and run the Emulator Setup Wizard, it doesn't seem to support the current version of WinVice (3.1).

Re: Games Catalogues

Interesting - thanks for putting these up.

They look to be the same ads that appeared in the magazines of the day (CU, etc).

Cheers,

Mike.

Vic-20 version of Stix?

Hi Guys,

A quick google didn't seem to tun up anything, so I was wondering if anyone know if 'Stix' was ever released for the Vic-20?

If not, it would make a great candidate for a port!

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: 6561 Die Shot Reversing Explorations

I have no experience in this area, but I find it fascinating.

With optical and electron imaging, what are your chances of being able to 'decode' the entire chip?

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: VGER-20... A Multi-Media Expansion Cartridge.

Wow, great progress. I reckon you're selling yourself short - having this level of ability is something pretty special. I know from experience how tricky this stuff can be very, very tricky to grasp. To have an innate ability is amazing. Keep up the great work - and don't let the praise go to your h...

Re: In the making: Arukanoido – an Arkanoid clone

Seriously, this is one of the most polished and well-made games ever to grace the VIC.

It's also (obviously) the best arcade conversion. The attention to detail is nothing short of amazing.

Well done!

Mike.

Great stuff Brad, keep up the excellent work.

That's a very neat man-cave - you know what they say about a neat desk! :-)

Re: VIC-2000 Expander. Modern Power Using Retro Parts!

Great Stuff Brad!

I'm no hardware-hacker (I'm barely a BASIC programmer!), but find this stuff fascinating, as do many other members, I'm sure.

I reckon you were born to late - you would've been a champ back in the CBM hey-days!

Cheers,

There were a bunch of these mags on ebay (Aus) a few weeks back. I didn't did though...

Re: Work in progress: REALMS OF QUEST V

I'm no fan of adventure games (just never had the patience), but this looks amazing.

If you'd have been able to pull this off back in the hey-days of the Vic, you'd have been a millionaire!

Keep up the great work.

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: VIC 20 book on Kickstarter

Wow, that looks about as comprehensive a Vic-20 reference as you'd ever find...

I wasn't aware of it until this thread re-emerged today.

I don't suppose there's any chance of getting a copy?

Cheers,

Mike.
