    Xmas Cart

    in Vectrex

    Posted · Edited by KidQuaalude

    Hi Folks,

    It's approaching that time of year again, so I'm offering a new Xmas Cart this year for those who missed the previous years releases. This new cartridge contains my four festive themed games, "Stocking Filler", "Save The Trees", "Parcel Panic" and "Space Tree X".



    £18 + postage. Order via my website : www.binarystarsoftware.com/?page_id=321

    There have been some delays but we have now had word from the printers that the second run of overlays is finally in production.

     

    We should have the next batch of 100 out to preorder customers as soon as we receive them. Thanks for your patience!

    They aren't recycled, they are home-made using a mold as far as I can tell, the 'wear' at the edges are due to an imperfect mold.

    Most homebrewers (including myself) use brand new cartridge shells made using Sean Kellys mold. These are almost indistinguishable from the original GCE shells.

    All of them have a 1982 copyright as they are molded from the original GCE cartridges.

    My response (for the benefit of others who may ask the same question)



    I'm afraid I cannot give an exact date for the second run atm. The overlays job is in the hands of the printers and has been for the past 5 weeks. I'll be updating the website and sending a mass email once copies are available again but unfortunately we can only move as quickly as the printers do.



    Thanks,


    Chris

    Hi Bill,

     

    I'm afraid shipping was delayed by a couple weeks as the foam inserts for NOX/DC came later than we expected. However, I am currently shipping out the first 100 orders so I would expect you should all have your copies in 1-2 weeks depending on your location. Folks in UK/Europe should expect their copies this week or next.

     

    I hope the games are worth the wait :)

    Using the Atari driving controller in port 2, you can only use it for steering and buttons 3 and 4 on the Vectrex controller for gear/pedal. It is not possible to use the button on the Atari driving controller for acceleration without making an adapter as the pin it uses is used by the joystick Y axis on the Vectrex controller.

    I think a lot more releases should be "double sided" two games on one cart in one CIB is a beautiful thing.

     

    I'm an overlay nerd so I thought I was gonna miss out on this release and I couldn't figure out 2 + 2 when I was hung up on trying to get my order in.

     

    More cheers more beers, we all got a great package. Binary should do more double releases!

     

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I hope you enjoy the games when they arrive. Technically, there are 3 games on the NOX/DC cartridge but I'll leave it up to you guys to find out how to get to "Skull Soccer" ;)

     

    And the same goes for Galaxy Wars/Space Launcher and the 2 player "Space Race" ;)

    Sorry guys, it's been a busy weekend! The order page should be back up later today.

     

    Overdrive controller is not supported but Vectrosis controllers and Atari driving controllers are both supported.
