Entry 19th February 2020: Post 03: Victape Computing - My lost dream.
Victape Computing - My lost dream.
That line from George Michael's song and turning a different
corner always comes to mind when I pick up this tape only magazine
for the VIC-20. I won't bore you again with the story but suffice
to say that this unopened cardboard and tape VIC-20 magazine is
the only physical memory I have of the time I was going to buy the
VIC-20. Had events been different and I had not been distracted
sufficiently to use my hard earned stash for social reasons rather
than computer, then maybe, just maybe this cassette would have been
out of the box and long since used and abused.
And so instead, this little gem stays as it did when I first bought
the tape magazine.... unused. Breaks my heart. To think of all
those endless hours of fun I could have had and all for £149.99.
Ar hum ... Anyhoo Victape Computing and edition number one no less.
