Hello ! I got mine two Days ago. The only previous experience I had with the Vic 20 was 30 years ago at school. I bought it driven by curiosity and nostalgia.
Well it's fun ! The funniest part is the usb slot to put more games and the Computer mode. I hope to find old magazines with basic code to try.
I tried Vic20 softwares like a Phone book and a unit converter (miles in kilometer, Farenheit in Celsius) and it's work prety fine ! I'm actualy looking for a wordprocessor.
Well some games with crt extension didn't work at all but those with the prg extension work fine.
I tried some d64 too without any problem.
Hours of fun to come !
Sorry if my english isn't correct, that's not my native tongue.

Mine was delayed, so currently i'm waiting and hoping i'll recieve mine on the 4th or 5th of November. A minor setback, but was to be expected during these crazy covid days.
But honestly, somewhere deep inside me, i can't wait to add it to my RGL "Commodore" collection.

Nice one.. Because its a Limited Edition of THEC64 Maxi, users will buy it cause of its looks not cause of the Carousel, cause it has the same Carousel as THEC64 Maxi.. (I hate it when some people call it `THEE`C64 when it `THE` C64... its sounds like they are saying three... even if THE and C64 don't have a space when you say it, it dose have a space like THE C64.. it like saying THEEVIC20 and it sounds wrong when its THE VIC 20 and it does have spaces in the words, its not THEVIC20 but THE VIC 20... sorry rambling abit there.. )

Thanks mate! It's a bit of a reverse evolution instead of the other way around, because the original C64 was basically a further evolution of the good old VIC. And quite honestly, i can't be bothered that it has the same Carousel as TheC64. It's the thought that counts. (Errr....... i'm going to confess something. I kinda stylize it as TheVIC20, just to differentiate it a bit from the original VIC-20. )
