Nooooo! Spoiler alert! ;)

It's an awesome, skull–shredding ear worm.

Everything's printed and looking awesome. Ran low on tapes and got to fix one or two things.

Am afraid physical tape releases are for bad m************ only but I can't puss out on this anyway.

Unfortunately I don't do crack which is why I kinda had troubles catching up with that b…b…beautiful thing.

What will the radio programme be like in the outskirts of the Solar System?
What will have happened to VIC–20 Denial in the future?

And who'll be the real war heroes then?

Well, things will take rather unexpected turns. You'll find out. Soon. Very soon. The final countdown is on…

Any ETA yet?

Am in the depths of moving back to Berlin, so all the stuff is scattered across North Germany. Will get a ride back on Friday. Hoping that the last thing is fixed that weekend. If not – **** it and some intro part will go out not so good as hoped for. As for the rest:

*sigh* – At least 99% done.

Will hand you the thing personally, if you like, so you can slap me around a little bit. :p

Well, the 6502 processor is the only processor that is certified for innovasive implants. That is in-the-human-body devices. So its about life and death for many people to get a new generation interested in the 6502. :)

The radio will be about how to hack your new 6502-based biomechanical replacement parts to make them perform even better on some microwatts of solar power. :D

Well, the story isn't that complex really. Enough for one or two guffaws and to make sense of the game title. :)

Will get another stash of blanks since the number of orders is beyond expectations. m) Guess I got dragged into the retro software house business for real. This is exciting and finally fun again. Especially considering how many issues had to be resolved in a very discomforting situation. They even operated that joystick back out of my landlords butt without breaking it! Yes, kidding. Finally I know what they mean when they say "homebrew heroes"…

Simply post it like agreed. Actually real life issues eat up most of my time, so no spare time left for the hobby.

What a pity! One doesn't meet many VIC fans in real life. So be it.

I totally get it if some of you are aggravated. So here's my escape plan: I have half of the tapes here. The others moved already by accident. I think it's unfair but I guess I'll record these right away, ignore my dissatisfaction, refocus on the more important part, which is the game, not the intro, send them off – and maybe sleep a little bit better.
