Same here for work, and I'm fine with it really as it's just a tool at the end of the day and a necessary one considering what I do, but for play I no longer want or need it. I've been enjoying mint and bazzite in recent weeks. Quite like the freedom aspect which they provide on more than one level.

Wait until you get the new start menu with categories you can't control, can't change and can't turn off, where your programs are filed in a seemingly and useless fashion.

This is what finally pushed me to another OS.

With what they put in it now you may get the squits. Cadbury's literally sold out some years ago. Don't encourage them, stop buying their substandard chocolate flavoured oil bars.

Resurrected my old gaming desktop pc that was stuck on windows 10 with bazzite.

Despite having a legacy nvidia card which is considered second class, everything so far just works. Even installed Outrun 2006 coast to coast off a CD. Amazing. Anyone else using bazzite and hit any problems?

From "Docking is Difficult" a book set in the Elite Dangerous world which I found for £1 a few years ago. In inscription made me laugh - "For my mother, who was smart enough to buy me a ZX Spectrum instead of a Commodore 64. Nobody cares about your SID chip, losers. TEAMCLIVE4EVUR"

From a book I picked up a few years ago for £1. The book was difficult to read with all the colour clash.

Totally amazing! The universe has aligned as I only just picked to this game on cartridge yesterday!

Does the tape still load after all this time?

Completeable VIC-20 Games? Are there games out there that can be completed? and of those, that are relatively easy to do so?

Update, a second person has been able to complete all 64 rooms of Emu's Massive Hunt, not once but twice, to get both endings. Well done .mad.

The mistake you made there was buying biscuits when you should have bought GREEN JELLY!

It's not a complex game, but fun with a unique feature.

- smooth pixel interia movement
- on a CRT it leaves a glowey trail
- unique to Cyclons is everything causes an explosion

Shoot the baddies, they explode, shoot the explosion, it explodes, shoot too much and you get caught by the explosions

Incidentally, the US release is for the 3K or 8K expanded Vic, with the UK version only reported to support 8K+. I'll digitise the US tape version to see what's different. The manual explains the 3K version doesn't give you the configuration menu.

Cyclons - Syntax Software Ramblings of a Commodore Vic 20 game developer. Creator of Vic Nibbler, Cheesy Trials, Escape 2020, The 8Bit Wars Vic 20 version and many more games.

Cyclons by Syntax Software (published by Rabbit) is amongst my favourite games on the Vic 20. I've recently got hold of the US release published by Softsmith and it includes the full instructions that fills in the blanks about the menu options.
