Ultima Escape From Mt. Drash (VIC-20)

Ultima: Escape From Mt. Drash is one of the rarest games a collector can own and most probably the rarest thing you can buy for your Commodore VIC-20. Despite being a Sierra release and carrying the Ultima name, you see, it was never really properly marketed and was released incredibly late in the VIC-20's life. Besides, and as Richard Garriott did not create the game, Sierra only produced a few thousand copies of the game (estimated at around 3000) many of which seem to have been lost, making sure that the few copies that surface sell for quite a bot more than $1000.

As you may have already guessed another copy of Ultima: Escape From Mt. Drash has resurfaced on eBay and is already gathering the bidders' attention. Actually, it has even managed to attract Richard Garriott himself, who has finally made it clear that he did approve of the game's Ultima name. Anyway, back to the auction; it's a US only affair and you'll be getting the game on a tape and its manual. Mind you, just reading through the auction's text is worth your time. It's an amazingly detailed entry this one... 

One Lovely Vintage Computing Bundle

One Sinclair ZX81 and one Commodore VIC 20 in their respective (and respected) boxes can be yours, provided of course you try your luck with this vintage computing eBay auction and are a resident of the UK. Both micros are -according to the seller, that is- in excellent working condition and come with all necessary bits and even a host of extras, such the ZX81 RAM-pack, a Sinclair printer, and the Commodore 1530 datassette.

A box with a VIC-20 (and some extras) in it!

The VIC-20 (VC-20 in Germany) by Commodore was the first computer tho sell one million units worldwide, and though it only managed to survive for five years it was home to a ton of Jeff Minter Llamasoft classics, Satoru Iwata's first conversion jobs and an astonishing selection of cartridge and tape based games. The machine came with a 6502A processor clocked at 1 MHz, 5k of RAM (well, for the basic unexpanded model), decent graphic capabilities, 4-channel sound, datasette and disk-drive interfaces, a cartridge slot and a proper keyboard complete with function keys.

For a chance at one of these lovely home-micros you could do worse than this boxed VIC-20 & extras eBay auction. Seller ships worldwide and you'll be bidding on a VIC-20 in its original box, a datasette, a game, quite a few manuals and four tapes filled with software. The average VIC-20 usualy costs something around 20$, 12£ or 14 euros.

Mind you, the VIC-20 homebrew scene is still going strong...
