I'll bet the kids do a lot better on this game than the adults. You Count seems to require exactly the observational skills a seven year old has in abundance :lol: .

Mega Cart #0131 arrived yesterday -- the day before my 28th birthday :D .

As far as I can tell, everything works fine. Thanks very much to everyone on the MC team.

P.S. Love the Robotic Liberation demo 8) .

Are you likely to add an edit facility in the near future? I accidently listed one of my VICs as NTSC instead of PAL. Also, the level of operation with some of my VIC-20s is not entirely clear at present -- I may need to update some of the information I have given.

As far as I understand, you can either buy the game in packaged disk form or as a digital download. People who buy the premium edition are also given a web link to a ROM emulation of the game upon payment.

Got two of those myself. For some reason, we get a lot of VC-20s in the UK. The funny thing is that they come in UK packaging and have UK serial numbers.

VIC-20 Legend

Some of you have been whinging about not being able to play Jetpac on the Mega Cart. This might cheer you up :) :

I have two late model VC-20s (both of these have grey function keys). I also have three late model VIC-20s (two have beige function keys, one has grey -- the latter VIC may have had its keyboard replaced).

Is it possible that the grey function keys on the late models are a feature unique to Germany?

Looks like a VIC-20 to me; just has a lot of yellowing. If you compare it with the PSU, you'll notice the power supply is in a darker beige.

I'm surprised they didn't use a better preserved example. I guess they don't like the VIC much in Holland.
