(Vic20 cart list. Part one of five peices)
==========================================================================
List of all Vic20 cartridges known or suspected to exist.
Last revised: September 1995
This list based on work originally done by Dean Dierschow. James Carter
took that list and added to it. Ward Shrake took James' list and added
to it. Now I'm releasing my list to the net, and leaving it up to
others to take it from here. Good luck with this Digital Archaeology project!
==========================================================================
Note: This first section is for all the game carts that are confirmed pretty
well to actually exist. Most are physically in the possession of someone the
various authors knew, or that they owned themselves. Advertisements were seen
as being too questionable to trust fully, especially if they did not show any
screen shots. Carts suspected to be "vaporware" or unreleased are in another
section of this list. Those were included in the hopes that someone would track
them down, confirm their actual existence, and move them up here later.

Note: the carts above that are marked as being able to talk, are a special
type of cartridge, unlike "normal" game or utility cartridges. They loaded
themselves into an unusual area of memory, and required you to type in a code
to start them up. (Sixteen kilobytes each starting at $4000 for you techies.)
They are all text-based adventures, where you type things in, and it tells you
what is happening around you, via onscreen text. All of these five carts were
part of the "Scott Adams Adventure Series", which were popular at the time. The
"Type N Talk" is an add-on hardware device (Votrax-based?) that
