Is not in the DP database. Is that because it's ridiculously common or is it just a small oversight on my part perhaps?

Because it's not a game.

Thank you for your help.
I also have Programmers Aid Cartridge for the Vic 20 which IS listed in the DP guide, but I'm having trouble getting past the first level.
Any help? :hmm:

Well it isn't in Guide #7, it's something I've added since taking over from Ward Shrake doing the section. I don't actually own Personal Finanace myself, but am always looking to add entries to section 8 (demos, samplers and non-games). So if you send over all the info relevant to the program (publisher, programmer, design team, product number etc), then I can add it in.

Heh, sure. I don't really know much about the cartridge as I just got it today, but I can probably google most of that stuff, unless there's an easier way on the cart itself for product number etc.
Also may seem like a Noob-esque question... but what is the difference between a Vic20 and a C64? And are most peripherals interchangeable?

Does this mean you don't actually own a Vic20 to plug the cart in then? ;)
Might be interested in getting it off you if it's complete...
As for peripherals, most stuff works between Vic20 and C64: joysticks, datasette, disk drive and so on. Programs won't though, unless they are in very specific BASIC.

God no, I don't really collect stuff thats complete as most people who have it want exorbitant prices for it.
Yea, I have a Vic 20.
No, I do not have a TV :P
I'm currently between houses ;P

Are you doing this for the 64 as well? I've got a fair number of non-game cartridges for both the VIC & 64. Most are loose, though, so I couldn't provide much info beyond what appears on the label or on screen.

Yep I am. Started off with the most common, well known and useful ones out there really, and will probably stick to that sort of area. Have a look at the online guide, most of what I've included already should be there (under section 8). If you got anything not there, sling me a PM with the relevant DP related info and I'll decide whether to put it in :)
