11.02.2022 - The VIC-10 and VIC-30 - Commodore UKs Cancelled Computers - new video from '8-Bit Show And Tell'
In 1982, Commodore UK was planning a full range of home microcomputers to meet every budget. The VIC-20 was a success, and they wanted to add a VIC-10 at an even lower price point, and a 16K VIC-30 to sit below the upcoming top-end CBM-64 or VIC-64, which ended up being called the Commodore 64. But rapidly changing market conditions, led by the release of the ZX Spectrum, meant there was ultimately no place for the VIC-10 (aka Ultimax or Commodore Max Machine) in the UK, and the VIC-30 was quietly shelved. We'll look through several UK-based Commodore magazines from 1982 to figure out the story behind these little-known computers that were cancelled, relegating the VIC-30 to vapourware and the VIC-10 / MAX to only the Japanese market.

10.02.2022 - C64 game 'Fold'em' released
Fold'em is a puzzle game where the player has to clear all other (white) squares with his own blue square (robot). A "folding" effect is created, which is the inspiration for the name of the game. You have 3 failed attempts (level restart) available, but since there is a password after each completed level, the time limit shouldn't be a problem either. You can get the game as digital download for a bargain (name your own price).
