    Rare Indian BBC Micro clone surfaces on Twitter

    My first VIC20

    Congrats! The default answer to the VIC-20 "now what?" question is the Penultimate+ cartridge. Switchable RAM expansion (3K-35K), about 70 game ROMs and a dead test. Of course if 70 games isn't enough for you, you can always get yourself an SD2IEC or similar 1540/1541 compatible SD card drive...
