- Better than ever in 2022!

I just ordered and received the latest model and it does not disappoint at all! This thing is a miracle for the Vic-20. Not only do you get a very sizable collection of original games, but even better you get exclusive new (and amazing I should add) TFW8B titles. And, you still get the RAM expansion, the dead test cart utility and the ability to launch an SD2IEC really easily from the cart. It also has a nice reset button that lights up.
There is nothing else like this out there on the market. It's really a must have if you have and love your Vic! - Get one!
- First impression was how well this was packaged. It was litterally in a bubble envelope in a bubble envolope in a padded mailer in a padded mailer in a DHL envelope. Needless to say it arrived in pristine condition. The first thing I did was try out the deadtest and was please to see all green checkmarks. After that I tried about a bazillion games and still have more to test. This is an excellent product and well worth the money. It will bring new life to your VIC-20 and help keep it in good health with the included utilities.
- Oh. My. God.

There are know words for how important this cartridge is if you're a vic-20 owner. The inbuilt games are superb, and seeing my machine have 35k of ram available gives you a full on nerdgasm!
I was also pleasently surprised by how quickly it arrived. I'm pretty sure in was inside of 24 hours from ordering! - AWESOME!
-
This is everything the original should have been! I am surprised that nobody mentions the fact that using it in an NTSC machine reveals all of the titles in NTSC format. That was my main gripe with the first cart....some games were PAL. Now they all work right for us in NTSC land!
The cart is a work of art and a must have if you own a Vic. If you haven't purchased it already you must have your head examined! - New life for the vic

A must have for vic20 owner.
This cartridge is very helpfull because many operation can be made in very little time from the menu - Just buy it

Look, it’s just great, so buy it if you have a vic-20.
I was a little sad it doesn’t have Jupiter Lander but it’s still amazingly great. I have to go see if it has a machine language monitor—it’s so great I don’t even care, I’d buy it anyway but I hope it does. - Go buy one!
- Being a proud owner of the original Penultimate cartridge, I’d thought I would treat myself to the new Penultimate + cartridge. Mine came in a deluxe two tone cartridge case (chocolate brown & radioactive yellow). When it arrived a duly gave it a quick spin on my VIC 20 (The best computer ever! #FACT), well I wasn’t disappointed. It has the same selectable memory expansion and more ROMS than you can shake a stick at, also included are some new TFW8B titles. The new super menu system is an absolute treat and has a nice vintage look to it. Overall I would highly recommend this to any VIC 20 owner.
