Back to the 80's AKA Got me a VIC-20 (#100DaysToOffload Day32)
So this is something i have been wanting to get into for a while. #RetroComputing. I could never find the right listing at the right price. Well this time when i went looking all was right and i scored a (what i consider) mint condition VIC-20. Also got a tape drive for it, some educational software on tape and a couple cart games.
See pics here
So now what to do with this. Well i discovered that there is still an active community of people making games for this system so that's been fun. Downloading games and converting to a format that i can then record to cassette since that's the only way i have(for now) of getting things to/from the VIC. That's worked out pretty well so far. I have also found Compute Gazette on archive.org and have embarked on a semi quest of archiving the program listings from them. I'll document that better here some day but for now you can find .tap files of what I've done here. I'll also post it all over on the Denial forum(linked above) under the games section.
I have also made .tap files for the above mentioned educational software.
That's all for now.
Till next time. Be safe!
Until next time. Stay safe!
