  • I remember getting one for Christmas...then my family stayed with it for a long time and we have been in the dark ages of computing ever since. My parents wont even upgrade their cell phones because they are too complicated!

  • @brazomatic

    The computer had only 3k built in but all the cartridges had a built in 16k. So the ram wasn't all that limited. 3,8,16, and 24k cartridges were also available.

  • So able to run Crysis!

  • Even the most stripped down version of the IBM-PC was over $1,500... the VIC-20 sold for less than $300. The Apple II+, sold at the same time, sold for $1,200... there's a reason why the VIC-20 was the first computer to sell over a million units.

  • I like the last two vic ads i watched, you dont really see computers competing with game consoles now

  • 3k of RAM. It is a joke today but back then it was really only commofore and apple. Unless you wanted to spend $5000 for an IBM.

  • the "crude versions of computers" brought on many answers to the great videogame crash.

  • yeah people need to know what goes on underneath the GUI

  • Yes.

    "TRUE COMPUTING" back when you had to know what the hell you were doing in order to make use of it.

    "BRAIN DEAD COMPUTING"...pushing a mouse around and clicking on pretty pictures.

  • "games like you have never seen before" That was so true!
