I just found a Commodore VIC-20 holy grail - in my garage

[The Insomniac]

My Dad used to be a huge VIC-20 gamer back in the day, but he never talked about it much so I had no idea how much he was into it untill now.

I knew some stuff was in the garage, but it was always messy, with boxes burried on top of each-other. I was cleaning it and I found 2 BOXED VIC-20's, with some games still srinkwrapped! I'm going to go look through everything now, and post the findings.

Thanks for reading!

Ahh, nice stuff, though the two shrinkked (PUNK'd?!(random);) games don't seem to ring much of a bell, I certainly do know and love some of the loose ones you've got. GORF, man! :D

DAMN, there's some rare carts on there. Amazing family find! He doesn't mind that you're selling it?

I found a bunch of cassetes, Torg is a cassette BTW, here are the other cassettes I found: Blue Meanies From Outer Space (Boxed), Programmable Charecter Set & Game Craphics Editor (Boxed), Alien Blitz, Super Slither, Start Programming with 'Gortek and The Microchips', Math Hurdler, Car Chase, Victerm 1, Richard Petty's Taladega (C64) (Shrinkwrapped).

I think I remember seing a cassette add on with more cassettes in the garage a while back. I'll continue searching tomorrow.

Well my Dad hasn't played them since 1990 he says, and told me I can keep what I find, so assume he doesn't care.

BTW, can anyone tell me what the rare ones are?

Thanks!

Great finds! That would be like me cleaning out my Room of Doom and finding a NWC cart there.. ?!? sort of a, "how did I miss that?"

the old tapes are worthless. Most of the time they no longer play well enough to work due to time and heat.

Pirates' Cove is the shiznit.

The coolest thing about the collecting of VIC carts is that they are numbered on the label.
