Folks! My friend was at a “junk” shop and found an old computer he thought I might like (a Vic 20? Uh yeah) so he bought it and sent it to me. It works straight away. But the amazing thing? See next post in this thread
Checking #Mastodon posts on a #Commodore#VIC20? Yes, with #FujiNet. Built in HTTPS protocol support, along with JSON make parsing complex web services easy, no matter the language, because it uses KERNAL I/O for everything. #retrocomputing.
I used to have a Vic-20 as a teenager. I think I probably would've exploded if I'd seen this - although I wouldn't have been able to afford the disk drive to run it from!
To my #Commodore friends: does anyone have an extra working #vic20 they can sell me for #FujiNet software development and firmware testing? I am asking to buy, because I will need to hold onto the system for further development and regression testing.
I have decided to do one final run of the original version of the WME64 wireless modem emulator for the Commodore 64, 128, and VIC-20. It will be a batch order with about a two week or so lead time because I need to order the parts, so if you are interested, here is a good place to let me know. Each one is $40USD plus whatever shipping costs to your address, comes in a 3D printed case with colour label, and is compatible with any program that can use a user port modem, at 300-9600 baud.
Getting your order in now will get you your modem first, before it goes up for sale on Tindie or anywhere else.
Games That Weren't are today proud to present: 'Survivor Run' - a #VIC20 game by Creative Software that has been missing for 40 years. An impressive and original title intended for release on cartridge, with changing markets preventing release.
INTV has hands-down the best gameplay content. It's a toss-up between A26 and VIC as to which is the prettiest. The A8 version is - disappointingly - barely distinguishable from the A26.
The later C64 version is pretty poor. It's missing nearly all of the visual charm of earlier versions, especially the VIC one.
At the start of December last year, yet another full #Commodore#VIC20 game was found in the form of Ice Palace thanks to Dougmanct on AtariAge. A cute 3 screen game by Xonox that has been missing for just over 40 years. Now you can play the full game!
