ComputerSpaceFan Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Silly. I'll wait for the (possible) public ROM release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Interesting. I didn't know the current version of Mail Plane wasn't working. I never tried it honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectrexer Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 No, the ROM dump I made earlier is not a fully playable version. This time around will be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Mail Plain is not on the 72:1 multicart. The only light pens "games" on the cart are Art Master and Melody Master. Pitchers Duel and Dark Tower are on the cart.

Pitchers Duel and Dark Tower are on the cart. ah ok. but on their website (http://vectrex.playntradeonline.com/) it says under prototypes that it includes engine analyzer, isn't that a light pen game?

Mayhem Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If you can call it a "game" heh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectrexMad! Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If you can call it a "game" heh... yes, I would call it more a curiosity. At least with Art Master and Melody Master you can actually "play" with them. Even in the 72:1 multicart menus agrees with this. Art Master and Melody Master are listed under lightpen games, whereas Engine Analyser is listed under prototypes in the mesu selection.

Vectrexer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Not that I remember either. But then I missed a couple of things at the Digital Press - CGE Services booth that year. Edited November 18, 2013 by Vectrexer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 The YouTube video seems to play (and sound) a lot like Polar Rescue. They were probably developed side by side, since they were at the end of development. I LOVE Polar Rescue - it appears to be pushing the limits of what they knew how to do at that time.

Mayhem Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Completely unaware of any Mail Plane repro being made as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I do wonder where these pictures came from. Though they could just be photoshopped. http://www.geekvintage.com/gce-vectrex-cartridge-mail-plane.php Now the Belgian Mail Plane Proto is on ebay too.
