Really excellent work, looks good on the Vic and the coloured sprite(s) look especially great (and would have been a pain to implement, no doubt!).

Haven't played yet but just watched the YouTube video and can see it is a very faithful port.

I haven't seen one like that. I would be guessing that it was manufactured in August 1982, so it may be less common but not particularly early.

I really like the idea, great incentive to finish some of these projects

Looks great, the sort of game that suits the PAL Vic very nicely. Would have loved this on a cartridge back in the early 80s! I'm guessing the horizontal scrolling is a combination of changing the value in $9000, as well as having characters offset by one mc pixel.. there really aren't that many ele...

Finally, a large-print version of the Vic for those of us with failing eyesight..!

Yeah, thanks again - it was definitely an Australian publication, and I even remember the author wrote in (in the second such publication) to explain that the listing wasn't for C64 but Vic-20 - which he 'forgot to stipulate'.

I have a feeling this one may be lost to time, sadly.

Thanks for the response guys, no it wasn't that one - the game I am referring to was vertical, rather than horizontal. The ball traveled up the screen, and sometimes would break left or right. You swung at it, your bat going in a 'circle' of sorts around you. It didn't have user defined graphics eit...

Probably clutching at straws with this one.. there was a one-off (or two-off) magazine released in Australia around 1984/5 with nothing but type-ins. It was on really cheap paper, kind of quality like 'Home Computing Weekly' from the UK, but I forget what it was called Anyway, it had type-ins for ma...

Actually it turned out that it was only the inline power filter, so no serious repair work required.. yet!

..and in original CRT glory too..!

Thanks, I'm not too keen on repairing the power supply itself, but actually the circuitry looks fairly accessible compared to some.

More my lack of ability here being the issue, so I thought a drop in replacement might be a safer bet.

I've got a C128D (not DCR) that went bang last time I tried it, after running for about half an hour, tripping my main fuse at the same time. From some research, it is either likely to be the inline power filter, or some capacitor in the PSU has shorted. Frustratingly there is no visual (or sniff) c...

Nice spot. I've often wondered how common the PET/CBM series was for those last models, they must be pretty rare. The 8096SK is a particularly nice looking machine though, I understand why they would use it as a prop. Unless I'm mistaken, there was also a Commodore Pet recently in the last Netflix s...

Many thanks. Face-palm moment as I now realise the source code was available the whole time

When saving a font, it will add the '@0:' for replace at the start of the filename, so you don't need to include this. You know the implementation of 'save-and-replace' is bugged on many CBM disk drives and can corrupt the disk's contents? That is not something you want to include in a program, an ...
