The Future
This is probably just naive idealism, but please indulge me. If it's possible to build a new cartridge for the VIC, would it be possible to build a 1530 datasette or a 1540/1541 disk drive? Maybe even the VIC-20 itself? Certainly, it must be possible to build individual parts for the VIC and its per...

VIC20Gamer.com shows demos of games, although its database is not particularly extensive. It's a shame that the VIC doesn't have a website as exhaustive as worldofspectrum.org.

Am I the only one who thinks Shark Attack is a fantastic game? It's both highly addictive and extremely challenging; a very difficult balance to get right. With many games on the VIC, there seems to be a certain amount of luck involved which diminishes the skill element. Shark Attack doesn't have th...

x1541

Mission Statement

This got me thinking that a similar program could be developed to help identify and resolve general maintenance problems with the VIC-20....
