Possible Pre Production Vic 20 Carts? Satellites and Meteorites and Cloud Burst

[swlovinist]

I have two possible pre production carts. One shell of the Vic 20 game has came apart. Both carts are unusually heavy, and as can be seen with one board, it has socketed chips.

If anyone has further information about these carts, I would love to know. Please PM me.

Hard to say, I've never taken any of my UMI carts apart to see. A few did seem a little heavy, it might be that a fair few Vic20 games did use EPROMs instead.
