50TBRD Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Tempest has already been done a couple of times on the Vectrex. Battle Zone was started and never finished. That's what I don't understand is how people want to remake or do their own versions of games that are already on Vectrex. Now, Centipede would be something that no one has done yet. I'm not sure that the Vectrex is suited for platformers but I'd like for someone to prove me wrong. Its suited best for shooters. I think a Final Fight or Zelda type game would be more doable and enjoyable. One concept that I haven't seen used often is how in Herc's Adventures you died and the game wasn't over.

I own this game and had no idea that this game was there. BTW Breakout is on Vecmania plus Micheal Borrman made one called Blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkiker2089 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 How about this, jumping like in SOTN with shooting like Bezerk. Make it a platformer based on the Bezerk world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovethevectrex Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 John donzali made "super spike world" which was unfinished, but the demo is included in the game of "space frenzy" which you can buy as his website, classicgamecreations.com. by the way its shutting down on the 31st of dec, so you'd better buy it quick!

Seob Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 There has been an attempt for a platform game called "stip". It was developed by Martijn Wenting from Revival Studios in the Netherlands. It look really nice, but since it uses 4 different overlays, the game would cost a lot, so it will probably never seen the light of day. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/170352-vectrex-stip-futur-platform-gameor-not/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 I wouldn't mind a side scrolling port where your character has to avoid obstacles by jumping or ducking, etc... No, not Mario.. But I think a port of this might work really well on the Vectrex: Make the main character look like Spike and it's a marriage made in heaven.. desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schuwalker Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I would be all over a Atari Red Baron port! My really want list are Zektor (sequel to Space Fury) and Qb-3 (rare Rock-Ola arcade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interesting, I'd still like to see Gorf on Vectrex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
