I have made 8 high-score saving enabled cartridge versions of some of the original Vectrex releases. Available as sets or individually from my ebay shop : https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/kq_76

I have made a few hacks of older games (Star Hawk and Patriots 1/Remix/3) to allow the use of Atari CX-80 or CX-22 trackball. The hacks can be downloaded from my website : www.binarystarsoftware.com/?page_id=460

A compilation of some videogame music I converted from the Amstrad CPC (which shares the same sound chip as Vectrex) : Download : binarystarsoftware.com/bin/YMusic_v100.BIN

Hehe I adjusted slanted Vectrex text after watching that video, with no ill effects. But yeah, probably best to go with the official instructions.

Thanks! Currently sold-out but I'll be making more once the PCBs arrive.

Yes, I'm just waiting on more PCBs at the moment.

The complete version Every Day Is Halloween is now available on (high-score saving) cartridge : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202412485596

Yes, though you will need to use it in Port 2 and the Vectrex controller buttons in Port 1.

Ah OK, that solves it.

I've also seen it on Vectrex games. It's likely a form of "cut-out", where items meant to be sold in a discount bin (typically records, CDs and tapes but can also be videogames) would have a hole punched in them, or corner cut off to ensure they will not be sold at full price.

IIRC it ought to reset and boot into the menu once the files have transferred across.

Hehe that's because Jim had next to no RAM/ROM space left when I added the sound code

Added support for 2 player simultaneous play

If it takes time to warm up and display, you will likely need to replace the capacitors. As the CRT display operates on high-voltage, you will need to discharge the monitor flyback before working on it or risk painful electrical shock or even death. If you are unsure, try to find an old-school tv repairman in your area to do the job for you.
