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

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.

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.
