BinaryStar Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) "Hex", a little game I knocked up yesterday. It uses joystick/buttons or a spinner/atari driving controller in port 2. Press 4 on the Vectrex joystick to start. Video : Free ROM attached. HEXa2.BIN <edit> Updated binary with ability to continue (within 4 'levels' of where you left off) Edited March 10, 2014 by KidQuaalude 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cool little game! Could be a preliminary for a Cinematronics Boxing Bugs conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This game looks like a lot of fun. Now I can't wait to ship my vectrex to my new place. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Looks like this is already the "year with Vectrex games with music during gameplay." Make VecCaves 2 somebody! SpiceWare that's unpossible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryStar Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Hehe yeah I believe my earlier game "Nagoya Attack" had the honour of being the first Vectrex game with music and sfx. Hint : For high scores, use a spinner in Port 2 Edited March 11, 2014 by KidQuaalude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I used an Atari Driving controller, that's the results of my second attempt. I didn't get very far during my first attempt as it kept rotating on its own. I figured out that I needed to wiggle the joystick in port 1 a little bit to stop it from doing that.

BinaryStar Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Ah, that's a result of a non-centered joystick as I'm using analog controls for the stick. I'll increase the deadzone a bit more next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It was the stock Vectrex controller. Possibly the self-centering doesn't work as well as it did 30+ years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
