MegaManFan Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I'm trying to get to the site to pre-order but all I get is "cannot find server" so I assume it's swamped. Do you have his e-mail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah .. VecFury@aol.com The demo video is fantastic! I sent him an email asking if he would consider adding VecVoice support to make those robot beasties a little more pesky!

Rob Mitchell Posted July 12, 2003 Author Share Posted July 12, 2003 You cannot move forward, backward, left, right, up, or down. You're stuck in a watchtower! Yeah .. that's what keeps it from being a Battlezone-style game. But still for a first effort at programming the Vectrex .. MY GOSH! And he told me that he is working on two more Vectrex games!

Rob Mitchell Posted October 17, 2004 Author Share Posted October 17, 2004 George Pelonis has announced that he is making new packaging for those who already own his WAR OF THE ROBOTS game! This packaging is similar to that of his new release, I, CYBORG! and features a small cart-sized clamshell box and custom label. See his site for details. Click on the WAR OF THE ROBOTS button and scroll to the bottom. In addition there is a freeware version of the game for download and play on emulation or the VecFlash cart! http://geovector.tripod.com Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 I just purchased several of his games. I would love to try the ones he has free on his site but I'm not sure of where I could get a Vectrex Flash cartridge (like the VecFlash). Nothing came up on ebay.

ilovethevectrex Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 do you know where i could find a copy of this game? can i buy it on his website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 He sold out way back in 2003. Only way to get an original of the game now is to be lucky on eBay. But the ROM is available to download and play from the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
