Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

I must have missed much of the thread, i beg your pardon: is there a downloadable pdf of the book, so that poor EU people can peruse it on the PC or phone, or use a local print service? TIA

Re: Jeff's VIC 20 Book

Would the shipping include custom duties? I have experienced bad surprises in the past :|

Re: #FujiNet Weather App for VIC-20

Very cute! Should anyone be interested in this wonder device, but incapable of building it himself, is there a plan to produce it for mass distribution?

Re: #FujiNet Weather App for VIC-20

Cute! I'm a big fan of weather apps :mrgreen:

I missed the whole FujiNet topic, could you please summarize for me and other distracted readers what's it all about and how can we have these applications up and running on our VICs?
TIA :D

Excellent Mike, those cheat pokes really bring me back to the Eighties, when a couple of pages where regularly dedicated to cheating modes in every magazine :D

Re: Goofing around with OpenAI

Ahahahah it's really rare to be asked about the commodore VIC-20 😂
As a non-artificial intelligence, I tried to explain my hobby to normies in the past, but they hardly knew about the 64 (and the very few that did heard about the VIC were over 50 of course).

Re: Happy Easter Greetings from Revision 2023!

Wow Mike and Tokra, looks like you had lots of fun there (also, how could you resist in that loooong toilet corridor before getting to the wc? :mrgreen: ). Will try to attend some time in the future, maybe getting older and retired from work 8)

Re: New Game: VICSTRIP

Very interesting Mike and Tokra, you're really pushing the limits of our beloved machine to new frontiers :D . The possibility to reserve the lower area of the screen for the good ol' blocky text is a great feature (well, *new and hot* is apt for the game being :mrgreen: ), and surely opens the door...

Spotted a strange monitor (?)

Hi there, a couple of days ago I was in the small town where I was born. Nothing changed in 50 or so years, and I'm always happy to find all those places still intact: sweet memories come to mind, and all that melancholy stuff we all know well flows like a river. https://i.ibb.co/pZ97LyQ/IMG-2023032...

Re: Added approx. 1000 Vic-20 Games To Play Online

You can only play single file games. Much better to look for single games, download them, maybe also have a look at the instructions, and get them to work in VICE or online emulators. I tried this myself and must say it doesn't give a good impression of the VIC-20 world IMHO. But as I always say, de...
