I love both the VIC 20 and the C64 in more or less equal amounts. The VIC because it was my first computer and it is just so... friendly :-) The C64 because it was (and still is) a fantastic machine and an embodiment of all that was cool with computers. When I got my Amiga 500 computers had come to ...

First video game: Pong or Pong clone, probably late 70s. First arcade game: Probably Night Driver, also most likely late 70s. Don't remember where. First computer game: The first one that comes to mind is Blue Meanies on the VIC 20. Would have been late 1982 since we got our VIC in the second half ...

I know it's not VIC stuff, but it's sort of related. What do others think? I collect so that I can try the programs out, not so they sit collecting dust for 30 years. I say open them. There's no point in having all that stuff if you're not going to enjoy using it. And if any of the games aren't pre...

I used to have quite a few old computers (several each of Amiga, Atari ST, ZX 81, ZX Spectrum, C64, C128, Plus/4, and VIC 20, plus an Oric-1, an SX-64, and a non-working Atari 600XL) but a couple of years ago I scaled it down to two VICs, three C64s, one SX-64, two (or three, can't remember) C128s, ...

Re: Grandparents Vic 20 NIB. What do I have here?
Is this thing a big deal? I remember doing homework and learning programming on a C64 as a kid, but I know NOTHING about Vic 20s. It probably depends on what you mean by a big deal. If you mean value to a collector I have no idea, but if you mean historical value and if it's a fun computer to use I...

Re: Vic-20 Cart info.
I also have a cart for a C-64 called Mini-Jini which was a database program. Is it possible to make a ROM copy of it and have ot run on a Vic-20? The instructions reference the Vic more than the C-64 A ROM dump of a C64 cart will not work on a VIC 20. The two computers use the same microprocessor (...
