The Vic 20

Long time again... but now it's all about Vic 20.


I got one couple of weeks ago, haven't had time to write about it because, too much to do and even my birthday there too.

So... the Vic 20. Got it on eBay, European version. I think it is the older version, the transformer is the old one, the black one.

With the package come the tape unit, the old Vic 20 one, and a couple of game tapes. I have not the time to test everything right now, just tested some game tapes to make sure that the Vic 20 works fine.

It also came with a couple of Vic 20 Basic instruction books, learning basic programming, and that was the whole machine. anything else important?

Oh yes, the joystick. 1 button 1 stick. :D primitive and great. Even my grandmother can use it. (if i had one)

I am happy to own a real Vic 20.

My future experiments with the machine will be downloading various Vic 20 demos and testing it on the real hardware.

Writing to you soon

Here is the Vic 20 with it's joystick
