I just put in my vectrex multi-cart and I played several of the
original release games for the first time in a long time (thanks
homebrew community) and I had several ideas for possible new games and
I wanted to know your thoughts on these.

-armor attack 2- An expanded version of the original, where the city is
much larger than the original and you have to take out key locations to
destroy the enemy. New enemies such as super tanks, enemy jeeps, enemy
soldiers (that you can run over, as well as shoot), and morter fire.

- star raiders (type) - This game would work so well on the vectrex.
Try to destory the enemys and regain control of rhe galaxy. Features
include galaxy map, radar, enemy battleships and cloaking enemies,
friendly bases. This could also work as a game that links up to another
vectrex for 2 player action.

- brain games - Bring back the classic atari game from the 70's and add
a little brain age for good measure.

It'd be great if Armor Attack 1 could be hacked and have massive scrolling
battlefields.

Or, just do a conversion of Choplifter Smile

Choplifter was also on my list of games still to develop for the
vectrex !

And yes, Armor Attack could undergo a cool revision too !

Cheers,

Kristof,

Have you released anything yet? It's been years since those
screenshots were posted and years since the pre release of vectrexians.
If not, why not?

Chris

Dear Chris,

Yes, You're right, it has been years ago since I posted the vectrexians
pre-release and I have to confess that my professional and private life
consumed a lot of time over those years. And as everybody might know,
If You only program for one or two hours a week on the vectrex, it
takes a while to program games on the vectrex. I sincerely hope that
all those vectrex-fans out there could forgive this delay. In each
case, I'm seriously planning now to bring out vectrexians and vector
pilot on one cartrigde soon. I'm just analysing the best way how to
produce the overlay and the box of the game, so please stay tuned.

Best regards,

Kristof,

I'm really glad that you have a project nearing completion and are
looking at a cartridge and I assume rom release. I am looking forward
to your release and wish you well. Any time frame? Later in 06 maybe?
Hopefully not 2012:) Thanks for the reply.

Chris

Hi Kristof
Unfortunatelly Exerion hasn't been ported to any 6809 console
The ultimate version is the arcade port Wink
The best console version is the Nintendo's NES.
(6502 CPU (Custom Processing Unit) and a PPU (Picture
Processing Unit).

Please put me also in your "to order arcade vector 1&2" list Wink
Take care
George

i liked the vectrexiansdemo a lot...if you get all those games on your
page up and running this will be a huge step for the vectrex gaming
community i feel...a working moon patrol, galaxians and gyruss on a
vectrex sounds like a dream come true..
keep on, man... Wink

To the best of my knowledge there are no other 6809 based consoles other
than the Vectrex.
