27.01.2025 - A Canadian VIC-20: No Big Deal, Eh? - video by '8-Bit Show And Tell'
Robin acquires a fairly-well preserved Canadian VIC-20 from his former co-worker's sister's ex-husband's wife's deceased aunt who had fortunately saved all the boxes and other packing material, including the bilingual slip box that goes over the usual American VIC-20 box, and the very rare "Viccessories" bonus pack. We go through this haul and compare this particular VIC-20 to others in Robin's collection with a focus on the differences in keyboards and power supplies. Then we try to power up this VIC-20 for the first time in maybe 42 years - it sort of works - and play some games and do some tests on it. And of course, 10 PRINT.
