When my cousin got hers I was given her Vic 20 as a hand me down.
Remember being chuffed to bits when I managed to put all of the commands in to load a game properly and ran into my mam's bedroom to announce it. Got put through the wall for waking her up at 7am on a Sunday.
Vic20 was still class! When we had ours, I suppose they were then phased out cos nowhere sold games, could only pick them up if any second hand shops happened to have some in!
