Behr-Bonz VIC-20 Multicart available

[rbernardo]

Long has been the dream of multiple VIC-20 games on one cartridge. Years ago programmer Ward Shrake envisioned and built himself a cart with dozens of games, all selected by dipswitches.

Fast forward to 2008. VIC-20 multicart projects go on. For the past months, two different multicart projects have been in development. First out of the gate into the commercial arena is the Behr-Bonz VIC-20 Multicart. With hardware by Eslapion and a game selection menu system by Viande of Denial, the Behr-Bonz VIC-20 Multicart contains 127 games which originally were on separate carts. The following games are on the Behr-Bonz:

I have received a correction from Eslapion; though he lets me pay in US dollars, he normally requires *Canadian* dollars.

Aren't we at "one to one" right now? Funny, most all American banks refuse all Canadian coin. Soon it will be worth more than US coin!!!

Actually, Eslapion has discontinued the Behr Bonz cart, his EPROM programmer has borked

[gklinger]

He hasn't got anymore boards either. I guess people will have wait for the more powerful MegaCart.

Yeah, bad news. Nonetheless, I am bringing two PAL Behr-Bonz carts to Europe -- one to gift to the June 21 Netherlands Commodore Show organizer Ron van Schaik (and it's up to him whether he will give it to a worthy member of the HCC) and one to gift at the June 24 Commodore Scene meeting.
