Me and my daughter just played a few rounds of this on my Vic-20 (+in progress VGA card) - the Pet version worked perfectly. Fun little game. Thanks for sharing!

We have a cursor! One more (known) firmware bug to fix. VicVGA lives 😂 #vic20

Dual-screen Vic-20 anyone? Still have a bug to shake out in the CPLD, then can start on the firmware. #vic20

Honestly, almost lost the will to live fixing up this thing.

It's had a full re-cap, new keyboard connector, new Meanwell PSU, new power socket, reset circuit fixes, and still has issues, but at least it's stable now.

"Untested" they said in the listing :D

I built a WiFi card for the +2A/+3/+3E! If anyone is interested in one, please leave your name here - spectrumcomputing.co.uk/forums/viewt...

Blue PCB plugged in to the printer port of a ZX Spectrum +3. The PCB has an ESP-12 WiFi module on it, and a USB cable plugged in to power it.

Finally blinken lights :D The problem wasn't my GAL code, but duff LS138 chips inside the Vic. This came in handy blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2022/11/vic-...
Picture showing a VC-20 (Vic-20) computer with an expansion card wired to a breadboard. The breadboard has some chips and 3 LEDs, one of the LEDs is lit. A TV behind the computer show some BASIC code, poking addresses to make the LEDs light in turn.
