Oh yeah I totally remember this magazine and typing in the programs on my Vic 20. Seem to remember being disappointed that most of the programs were for the C64? A few years later I was subscribed to Amiga World, so got over my C64 complex 😆

I think it just depends on when you had the VIC-20. The VIC-20 was very popular but only for 3 or 4 years. Once the Commodore 64 came along, the popularity of the VIC-20 plummeted as did support in the various magazines. The Commodore 64 held out much longer after the Amiga came along. I went straight from the C64 to a PC. I really wanted an Amiga but by the time I was ready to upgrade (Fall 1993), it was already obvious that Commodore and the Amiga weren't going to make it in the long run. It was ok though. I was quite happy with the Gateway 486 DX2-66 that I ended up with. I seriously considered getting an Amiga 4000 though. Would have had better resale value, that's for sure.
Yeah, I think I was 7 or 8 years old when I got it for Christmas. A couple of friends of mine got C64s that same Christmas, so it was around the end of the VIC-20 era. Good memories.
Yeah, wish I still had my A500. Sold it in high school and had no computer for a long while after that. Use a Mac nowadays but open up the FS-UAE emulator once in a while to explore some old Amiga games.
