Still going strong!
This cartridge designed for your Commodore VIC-20 computer comprises 127 games, all of which were originally published as game cartridges between 1981 and 1984. No additional expansion is required to play them, except a joystick and, depending on the game, a pair of paddles.
The new Behr-Bonz is slightly different from the Original with a new color in the menu and a button to reset to menu without the need to turn your VIC-20 off and on.
The Behr-Bonz multicart circuit board is exactly the same physical size as a Commodore made game cartridge so it can fit in the plastic case of a game you already own (4.5 x 9 cm). No plastic case is provided.
Just like original Commodore cartridges it uses gold plating to protect your cartridge port connector and for the longest possible lifespan. It is protected by a 90 day money back guarantee. Please note that out of the 100 original units made in 2008, not a single one was found to be defective nearly 7 years after their initial release.
-The price per unit of the Behr-Bonz multicart is 49$US or 44Euros. Quantity discounts are available on quantities of 5 units or more.
-Shipping to the US is 10$US, Australia, all EU countries and Canada is 11$US or 10 Euros - shipping cost is the same wether you order 1 or 100 units.
- YOU MUST SPECIFY WETHER YOU WANT A PAL OR NTSC VERSION - if this information is not specified then I will determine it myself according to the video standard available in the country of the shipping address

There is at least 3 improvements to the original cart:
- A "reset to menu" button. The original cart would send you back to the selected game when resetting the VIC because of the way it "locks" to the selected game to prevent games who write gibberrish in the IO2/IO3 region from causing problems.
- Improved PAL version menu colors. The colors of the menu are white text on black background and a blue border. This is an indication the version is 2015.
There is also a new menu in the Behr-Bonz cart.
A friendly menu for the friendly computer!
