Denial

The VIC was my first computer, but I had a BBC micro for longer.
Don't make me choose!
Sorry Jeff!

(The BBC was also great for creativity. It had an awesome BASIC - way better than Microsoft BASIC, a built in assembler, and some great graphic modes.)

Everyone thinks their region has no accent!

Indeed there is!

There's source code for it too if you need to tweak it.

There is no automatic way to multiload.
However, it should be pretty easy to add manual multiload support to JarVIC. If there's a specific example you'd like me to check then let me know.

Cool!
This makes it really easy to play a bunch of vic games!

11/45 whee! I LOVE the black and white tape. That must have been very fiddly to make! I think my favourite game is Night of the Ninja - I love the presentation and the varying play areas. I'm having a tough time with it though, because my joystick lists to the right. My package contained The Improba...

Hooray! Made it home a few hours ago and guess what was in the mailbox?

Thanks for the Kwanzaa present Jeff! Beautifully put together package. A work of art. Will make a donation asap.

I'm so sorry Blue Star killed your VIC!

Mine hadn't showed up in Austin by December 20th, when I had to go to Belfast for Christmas. I'll be back tomorrow with my fingers crossed!

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that, Jeff. Are you sure it's ALL zeroes? There might be something recoverable. I agree, the uIEC is rather fragile. I was thinking about making a little box for it, painted and decorated like a tiny 1541. The hard bit would be making the cables sturdy. Probably never happen :)

Pretty cool! It seems to go into some amazing detail...!
And the diagrams are mostly labelled with katakana which are easy to read.

Lucky the VIC's only got mono sound. But how are you going to press the fire button?

Not that there's anything wrong with ACME.
I've used it for a couple of games.

Cool, nice to see it getting some use!
(How do you fire?)
