Do you still have the originals in electronic form?

They were never in electronic form. The originals are xerox cut-outs put together with glue sticks. Very low tech. I didn't have a computer then. The text portions were typed in my college computer lab during a break between classes. I only saved 50% of those articles to disk. It's all very unimpressive. I'll continue to work on those scans.

If you gotta, scan 'em in huge. I'm perfectly good with huge. (I've got a cable modem at home and 100Mbit fat pipe at work)

Heck, if you want I can host 'em, the bandwidth for even a huge pdf of a VIC-20 mag can't be onerous.

Thanks for the offer and welcome to the forum! But I must say, flashing avatars make me feel epilectic

Aw, man, The Cheat doing a lightswitch RAVE is totally funny. Sigh. Ok, I'll change my avatar.

I just found a Compute!'s Gazette kicking around, but unfortunately it's from when they kinda blew of the vic20 to discuss the 64 and 128. i can send it to you if you like. it's mostly about MIDI for the 64.

And the auctions are still active...

If you look at the bid history, you'll find two of my arch-enemies at Tradera. They're crazy! Another one to look out for is called "Retroarkivet". I was recently outbid on a VIC-rapport, the ending bid being just around 100 SEK, for one single issue!

Once I find the missing issue of Vic Computing I need (pre-cursor to Commodore User here in the UK), I might see about scanning them. Have 8 issues I think so far, just need the ninth (and it isn't the last or first).

I'm digging up an old thread here.

While searching for VIC-20 info on the net, I came across this site;

http://www.acornelectron.co.uk/hcw/top_lvl.html

This magazine had regular VIC-20 articles in the early days, a combination of Games Reviews, Type-In Games, and Programming articles.

I thought that this article was interesting, although there are similar graphics kernals around now.

There are other magazines on this site, but this one seems the most complete.
