I just keep using this one. over and over and over and over. It's not worn out yet, not for lack of trying though.

If only the joystick for my commodore 64 had been so durable.

The joystick for my Vic20 really was. It was an early 'Quickshot'. Outlived the computer by about a decade :p

That name is a lot funnier than you intended it to be.

DanaC 10-08-2011 08:48 AM

Which name? 'Quickshot'? Always made me giggle.

Come on. Your electronic boyfriend's Joystick was named Quickshot?

Remember peeps, that "20" was because this beastie had a massive twenty kilobytes of RAM! How awesome was that?!

Actually it didn't. As I recall it had much lower RAM than that. Sure it was something like 3.5k..

Gonna google.


Ok...according to Google: the Vic20 had 5kb of RAM, of which 1.5kb was used up for system stuff. Leaving a whopping

3583 bytes of BASIC program memory for code and variables was available to the user of an unexpanded machine.
Thought as much, because I had a memory expansion cartridge (I even remember the brand, it was a 'vixen') that took it all the way up to *drum roll* 16kb!!! and I'm not 100% sure, but I think it cost something like £35-£40 for that expansion. It came with switches, so you could choose how much to boost the memory: you could take it up to 5k, 8k, 12k or 16k, I think. If you switched it to a higher level than was needed it wouldnt always work.

And if you wanted to save something you had to use a cassette recorder!
