Howdy! I got a Vic-20 awhile back, but haven't had much opportunity to use it. I have some questions.

I think my cassette reader is broken, but I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.

What games do you recommend?

Thanks!

Never got the included tape player to work either. Dark arts required.

Does it turn? If it seems mechanically functional it may be a simple matter of cleaning the cassette head. I'd start there. It got mine working. Get some extremely high % rubbing alcohol (90 is all I could find locally but you can get up to 97+% I think which is better) and us a q-tip but also use one of those special cleaner cassettes you use to be able to get.

Did Vic-20 have a strong following despite being marketed as a cheap color machine?
