If so, man I bought one of these and it is the coolest thing ever for the Vic 20. I was on the waiting list for 2 years for this thing while it was being developed. Now you can get one in a week or so....

This thing is sweet for those of us that cut our computer teeth on the Vic 20. I bought mine back in the early 80's by mowing yards all summer to earn the money. I still have that first computer but it died a horrible death so I picked up another just like new one off of Ebay.

I helped a neighbour get her "pet", then "C-64" going, don't think she ever had vic-20, maybe she did, my non-volatile memory is starting to go volatile these days, but I do remember playing quite a few of those games. I personally designed my own machine based on the TI 9900 16 cpu back in the late 70's early 80's, then bought a commercial TI 99/4a computer when it came out, and was completely disappointed in how poorly they designed the interrupt and memory structure (yeah I had it open within minutes of getting it home). Geek, nah, not me :oops: .

I know where you're coming from Brian, have fun with it ... it was a simpler time wasn't it.
