You're talking with Commodorians, so we all agree with you :wink: .
A bit OT in the "VIC games" section, I'm afraid :P .

Yep, nothing to compare to your site :D . It was for everyone's info.

I noticed that only the first four issues of the year 1985 - as stated in the thread title - were scanned. The nice feature is the possibility to browse single pages from an HTMLized index.

Browsable HTML and PDF - Compute!'s first 4 issues, 1985

Found HERE. You can browse the index and / or download the whole issue in pdf format. :wink:

Apparently, no other mags, books or manuals are archived there.

I do confirm, the Second Book of VIC is OK for me. Don't know if Airship airships ( :D ) to Italy though. :?:

WOW! Nice feature... you can drag the window corner and the ratio changes accordingly.

Thanks for having implemented this, it was one of XVIC flaws :D .

I know the feeling. I have eight VIC-20s that I keep in my kitchen cupboards and I still don't feel I have enough. I'm tempted to order another Mega Cart and keep it in a security deposit box. Same here. Six working VICs (one NTSC, five PAL of which two VC20 and one with the old motherboard). I fir...
