Summary
Submitted by aeeben on 22 May 2017
There's very little information available, but apparently Vx02 was a true oddball, low budget home computer based on 6502 chip and manufactured by Imaginary Early Computers, Inc. over 40 years ago. Vx02 has no keyboard! Everything is controlled by a joystick (or as they call it, a "Controller Stick", strictly no joy involved here). And there's no mass storage - you must write your program code again every time you power up the computer.
The computer seems so bad that it probably (hopefully) never went to larger mass production. I can imagine teenage boys in the test audience literally crying after spending two hours entering hex dump with the "Controller Stick" from the manual appendix to play "The Wall". And their parents getting furious and commenting that they would absolutely never spend 900 bucks for something like this, what "was supposed to be a fun video game for the kids".
I came across the original Vx02 Operation Manual while dumpster diving vegan food and supplies, and immediately wanted to code an emulator for this obscure platform. So here it is. If you're into some programmers sudoku, give it a try. Can you write a game in 256 bytes? Of course, with the emulator you can easily use any 6502 cross compiler, but for the real experience, use a pen, a paper, your "Controller Stick" and the Hex Monitor that comes in Vx02 ROM! |
