BEWARE of eBay Seller coregaming! (https://www.ebay.com/fdbk/feedback_profile/coregaming!) and store CoreGMG (https://www.ebay.com/str/coregmg)!

They use a misleading term usage "Authentic" in the title for their Vectrex Vectrex Overlay sales.

In addition to the misleading listing title keyword, the seller's Vectrex overlays have following issues.

Low quality printing.

Flimsy plastic.

Does not include an opaque white layer on the back of the Overlay. Degrades appearance during game play.

Additionally, the seller produces fake overlays that never existed also listing them as "Authentic". Example, their "Vectrex Overlay - Authentic - 3D Crazy Coaster" overlay being sold at $59.99.(https://www.ebay.com/itm/285665237566). GCE / MB never made a Vectrex Overlay for any of their 3D Imager games.

Instead, buy an original era GCE / MB Vectrex overlay.

Or buy one of the other excellent reproduction overlays.

Either can be found for around $12.00 to $20.00.

For those of you who want Robot Arena outside of the VecFever Cart have a look over on Facebook. In the group "Vectrex fans unite!" Graham Toal is offering up a Robot Arena cartridge for trade.

May be one of the few changes anyone has to get this game. VecFever or not. Sounds like there were only 38 Robot Arena cartridges ever made.

Here is the link to the post.

Have you actually been able to get a confirmation from Mateos on if you can place an order?

If you do end up getting a Mateos cart I will see about providing the batch file. But the file was made specifically for me my 7800 Mateos 16 in 1 cart so I don't know if the Vectrex cart works the same way on how to copy files over? Also, my batch file is setup for a specific drive letter that I had to assign to the Mateos when plugged in so the batch file would work properly. So my point is that the batch file would most likely have to be modified for your use.

But again, you have to get ahold of a Mateos vectrex flash cart first.

Not confirmation yet From Mateos / Hackermesh.

I was looking at the one on eBay in lieu of a direct purchase.

But it did require me to create a batch file I have to run each time I want to erase the data from one of the banks to prevent the windows10 crap from causing issues. Even then it still sometimes screws up and I might have to run it a few times.

I am thinking about buying Mateos kit. Can you share your batch file?

It seems another Vectrex developer was the person who bin on, and won, the latest VecFever on eBay.

Doesn't look like Rantmedia Games Ltd. (www.rantmedia.com) has gotten Jay Smith's permission to use the Vectrex software in their Vectrex Regeneration iOS app.

Can anyone else confirm?

So an interesting article on black appeance reproduction in video games. Are black hairstyles in video games really all the hard to do technically speaking?

A couple of recent Nintendo Virtual Boy listing for the homebrew title "Hyper Fighting" on eBay. Both look to be new. Or at least in a condition that is close to new.

One listing has already ended.but still interesting for historical purposes.

out of range of my wallet. Maybe some day a release of the larger ROM will be done. Until then I hop I can see this title on the floor at at another show like it was at the Let Play Gaming Expo in Texas. Cool to play the big release rather than smaller the demo/free version download ROM .
