8bitAndy Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I just found the excellent Hera Primera inspired by Juno First. The graphics, gameplay and especially MUSIC are very good. Does anyone know more about it, or about the overlay mentioned in the comments to this youtube? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmml Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Great game! It’s still work in progress but very playable already. Fingers crossed peiselulli will continue to work on the game at some point. Link below to his thread in the German C64 forums. Find the bins to download there: https://www.forum64.de/index.php?thread/68134-erste-vectrex-gehversuche/&pageNo=1 Latest bin is also uploaded to the VFU group on facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+bhall408 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hera Primera is one of my favorites! I'm not sure what is left to do - sure feels complete to me! Awesome music, impressive high score entry screen, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulinha Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Finally I got some update by email: " Dear customers, I am aware that you are eagerly waiting for the pre-ordered game "Hera Primera" for your Vectrex. And I am very sorry for that. I am also extremely dissatisfied with the delay. The game is poly.play's first Vectrex release and I would like to deliver the same quality standard as the releases for other systems. Unfortunately, there is a problem with this claim: The production of the overlay doesn't work out as it should. After the first printing company went bankrupt and the second one cancelled the order after some time, I found a small screen printing company in Leipzig/Germany that took on the project because they also find the topic exciting. Unfortunately, it turned out that the already purchased PETG material seems to be unsuitable. The print keeps throwing bubbles (see attached photo). Trials with different colors and chemical pre-cleaning have brought nothing. We now assume that we will not be able to implement it with this. New material samples have been ordered and further tests will start. But perhaps someone has experience with the subject and could give us tips on which material or colors are more suitable and even knows a source of supply. I would be pleased about feedback. There were requests if I could send the games without overlay. Unfortunately I would not like to do that, because I would like to send a complete product and also serve all customers at the same time. To show that everything is not vaporware, please find attached photos of the already finished modules, boxes and instructions. I apologize very much for the long waiting time. Also for the fact that I could not always respond to all requests in a timely manner. Since I do everything from production to the webshop to shipping and accounting on my own, I unfortunately often lack the time to take care of social media. And since I became a father again three weeks ago, there has been even less time since then. I ask for your understanding. Finally, I would like to thank you for making the realization of this project possible with your pre-order! However, if you do not want to wait any longer, please contact me. Then I will cancel the order and arrange a refund. Best reagrds, Sebastian Bach " 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+slx Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Ordered after stumbling into the poly.play webshop for a Lynx game. Left with a full bag, so to say. My second boxed Vectrex homebrew. The videos look great and I LOVE the name playing on Juno First. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the order confirmation stating that shipping would take a while as one of the titles needed to be produced first was relegated to spam by Google Mail. The shipping confirmation arrived without issue but that took a couple of days. Total estimated time from order to delivery (still outstanding) will be around 3-4 weeks.

Display Name Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 If I had known this was being sold by the singer from Skid Row, I may have had second thoughts about placing a pre-order!😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Cream Jonsey Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I have a lot of sympathy if the guy has a new child, this can't be easy, but it's also OK to call it at this point and ship to the people who don't care about the overlays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
