glitch Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I just received my copy today and have to agree w/ MMF. All I can do is say WOW!!!! Everything about this game is sweet and it's packaged very professionally. I actually brought my Vectrex into the office in anticipation of getting the game this week or next and everyone has stopped by my desk to try it out for a while. This is probably the most use my Vec has had in ages. It's been going non-stop all day. Kudos to Alex for an excellent, unsurpassed job. If anyone else hasn't gotten this game all I can say is get one. You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 I wish everyone would stop talking about how great this game is. I was out of town when he started taking orders and therefore I am near the bottom of his list. At least I was one of the first 100 that ordered it, so I will eventually get a copy. Last I heard he was down to his final 25. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. I can't wait to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitch Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I was #74 so you shouldn't have much longer. Anybody know where I can get one of those large arcade style vectrex controllers? The standard controller is a little difficult to control for this game unless I set it down and then it moves around because I get a little to frantic. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted April 30, 2003 Author Share Posted April 30, 2003 Anybody know where I can get one of those large arcade style vectrex controllers? There will be a limited number made: www.playvectrex.com UPDATED SITE! People on rec.games.vectrex newsgroup are talking about a bonus game in the Protector cart. Anyone here find it?

Richard H. Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 There will be a limited number made: www.vectrex.biz Rob, that's my page and I don't make controllers You want Brett's site - http://www.jitterring.com/playvectrex/ Although, I think he's put production of Vectorcades on hold for a while. BTW I have one and they are REALLY good - probably THE best homebrew controller ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitch Posted May 1, 2003 Share Posted May 1, 2003 Thanks for the corrected link. I had originally looked for www.playvectrex.com which is what google returns but it no longer exists. Apparently they have been put on indefinate hold. I knew I should have order one way back then. Do you think it might be possible to wire an adapter for a x-arcade joystick? I've been thinking about ordering one for a while and this would just give me another reason . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob, what's the values to use ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
