I wonder whas has happend to Vic20 pages..

We has two great Vic20 pages on internet..

http://members.nbci.com/_XMCM/vic20/games.html

http://arnold.c64.org/~vic20/vicimages.htm

And they are gone.. Those were best.. and I guess.. I can say.. only one of their kind.

After these we lost Funet Vic20 archive..

As a Vic20 collector.. and guy whos first computer was Vic20.. I have special place for it on my
heart.. I really hope that we get Vic20 pages/software back on line again.

Thanks

The IDSA (or whatever they are called now) caused the droppage of them... and my site, and CIA, and many others too. Don't think they'll be back sadly

The old Computer has links to VIC-20 Software

Because I cannot use the actual link I have here, here's the link from my own website

And at same time there is pages like this..

http://www.emulatorsunlimited.co.uk/

Its WRONG.

I am not really so intrested of roms, course i dont play with emulator..

But those two links that i send earlyer had lot of Vic20 game screenshots and pics of tapes/labels.

These days when Vic20 carts usually dont have box/instructions left anymore.. Those pics of box art is intresting..

We have great site Lemon64 of C64 games.. I wish there would be page like that of Vic20 too.

What a bunch of arses! What commercial interests are being damaged by Vic sites?

I'd start a Vic version of Lemon 64 - but my design & HTML skills are both stuck in 1994!

Yep, I agree, these arseholes are selling these disks for 17 pounds each, its because of people like these that retro gaming is gaining a bad name. What effort are they putting in? None, they are using emulators written by dedicated retro fans who making nothing out of them and stick a few hundred roms anyone can get from the net.

Fair enough offering a service and charge enough to meet your costs , couple of quid maybe bu these guys are taking the piss.
