Commodore VIC-20

The Commodore VIC-20 is an 8-bit home computer developed by Commodore. It was released in 1980.

In Germany, it was known as the “VC-20” instead, due to the rather unfortunate similarity between the pronounciation of “VIC” with another certain German word…

The VIC-20 was succeeded by the Commodore 64 two years later.

This system scrapes metadata for the “c64” group and loads the c20 set from the currently selected theme, if available.
