VIC-20, known in Japan as the VIC-1001, and in Germany as the VC-20, was a computer by Commodore Business Machines.

History

The VIC-20 was the second computer by Commodore Business Machines. It was known as the VC-20 in Germany, because VIC pronounced with a German accent sounded like the German expletives "fick" or "wichsen". It was marketed in that region with the backronym VolksComputer (people's computer).

Legacy of the VIC-20

The legacy of the Commodore 64 remains, even after its heyday. Independent games continue to be produced for the system to this day.

A plug and play video game console based on the Commodore VIC-20, THEVIC20 was produced by Retro Games.
