Vic-20 score and questions

Taking a stab here, looks to be one of the earliest models they released.

The 9V only powered ones were earlier, but the very earliest came with "PET" style keys, similar to the ones on the PETs:

Not the best to type on, but they look cool.

As for startup, should be able to just turn it on and go, though that particular variety seems to take a few seconds to show the BASIC screen (mine do, anyway.)

There were some two player paddle-based games, I believe (since the two paddles plug into one joystick port.)  The majority of games are probably one player, though I'm no expert.

The Behr Bonz is pretty cool, at $30 or whatever it was it's enough of a workout for my VIC-20.  Megacart looks like fun, but I can't justify the cost.
