[Is there ongoing development for Arcade Jason's idea of using LCD panels as digital overlays?]

I saw some videos by Brandon doing this...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[NEW GAME : Vectral]

Great to have more new stuff.

 

Do you have any newer videos? I can only find this one from a couple of years ago.

 

I think you are limiting sales with 2 of the 3 games needing a lightpen. But it's cool you support it.

 

 

[Debris for vectrex rerelease]

I have an original Debris and had no idea that there was a revisited version, so got quite excited when I read the first message.

 

Can't believe the original was 18 years ago! A lot of the homebrew is pretty much retro now.

[Vyrzon - a new single screen danmaku shmup for the Vectrex]

$1,313!

 

That's crazy. There really is some cash in the Vectrex scene.

 

Whoever got lucky and got #100 must be thrilled, as that was also aluminium.

I go less than a day without checking the links and it's suddenly available and just as suddenly sold out?? Some things never change with the Vectrex scene. I guess I'll have to wait for the next release. 

 

Anyone want to take bets on how quickly a copy will show up on eBay?

 

Not quite the usual as Steve has said he'll make sure there are enough to go around.

 

It's funny, I looked back at the release of Protector LE (20 years ago!) - That took over 3 weeks to sell out the 100 copies. How times have changed!

Damn it, time zones. Mid-April is the next batch, it seems. I hope I remember. Someone remind me or something.

I'll post on here as soon as I see it go live.

 

Apparently there will be enough to go around, you just need to be patient.

[Vyrzon - a new single screen danmaku shmup for the Vectrex]

So who got the last one?

 

I was hitting refresh for ages and it was stuck on 2 left for quite some time. When it hit 1 it lasted a millisecond.

 

Someone got a cool aluminium cartridge there.

[Vyrzon - a new single screen danmaku shmup for the Vectrex]

And batch one has gone.

 

Well done Steve.

[Vyrzon - a new single screen danmaku shmup for the Vectrex]

First batch is up for sale. I think the whole first batch is up. 37 left at time of posting...

Is this for sale somewhere (just came across it and would love a copy)? I saw the 'coming soon' but wondered if i'd missed a pre-order thing?

 

Not yet, there will be no preorders, but it's coming very soon now.

 

I believe the first batch of 100 carts are built, but there are more to come.

 

I guess it is just a case of watch this space.

Looking really impressive, well done, the overlay really adds something too.

[Drawing 3D on the Veccie and Cool Side Projects: Vectrex40th Anniversary Demo Development pt. 1 | ShareSquid]

Nice work, thanks for sharing. I like the line drawing explanations, I had no idea it worked like that.

[Vectrex Adapter for BackBit]

Really silly question, but even after visiting the site I can't tell what a Backbit would be used for?

[PiTrex]

I finally sourced a Pi Zero for a reasonable fee over the break, so shall be playing soon.

 

Have a look in this thread or the wiki it might be of more help:

and the title for this most wonderful of games will be called : ?

 

We look forward to watching videos of it as not many will be able to play.

 

Could you do it for the PiTrex instead? (or at least pretend whilst it's in it's current imaginary state)

[VecFever]

So it went for a cool £1550!

 

Anyone on here buy it?

That's actually a nice package, haven't seen a box for either the vecfever or robot arena (assuming 3rd party) plus he's got the 3d printed horizontal stand + an overlay.  Also unless I'm mistaken that's a vecfever II (going by the vecfever 128 mb label).

 

It is and I'm sure the final price will fully reflect it!

[VecFever]

Here we go again, someone obviously needs so Christmas cash. Starting at £250...

[VecFever]

Just a heads up. There are a few PiTrex back in stock (9 in a case, 3 without) at the time of writing...

 

https://www.ombertech.com/pitrex.php

 

Now just need top find a Zero.

[VecFever]

The PiTrex looks great and has been on my list to get on the mythical day I have some free time in my life. It's just such a shame there is no way these can make a living for the creators so things can progress properly.

 

Probably a stupid question, but couldn't the PiTrex be adapted to take any Pi? Other than size/overkill is there any significant issue? I actually have several original Pis lying around 9appreciate they are probably useless) but also at least one of two free Pi3 and 4.

Funny you say that; I am trying to get my hands on it as well.

 

Isn't nearly everyone? (As long as they are in the sensible price range)

[Spin-Cart or other spinner ROMs?]

I'd be keen to get one too.

[Assistance with research on a YouTube video about the Vectrex]

I've no idea on values, hopefully someone more knowledgable will be along soon, but I do know there are plenty of homebrew and found games that are worth more than most in your list.

[Vectrex (and other) Arcade Joysticks]

I saw you get a plug in RMC - The Cave's recent VecFever video.

 

Should I ever get a Fever (hahahaha) or more likely when I get a PiTrex up and running I can see one of your spinner controllers in my future.

 

Are Spin-Carts still available anywhere?

[Vectrex Complete Screen Calibration and More (Definitive Guide)]

This is brilliant.

 

I hope I never need it!
