Cartridge labels arrived today. GWSL will be released as soon as box and instructions are printed.

Manuals and box should be printed very soon, so not long now. I received the labels today.

Version 1.02 update can now be downloaded from my website. The new version minimises timing drift, and allows adjustment of speed by holding down button 3 and pressing left or right on joystick. Button 4 toggles minutes/seconds dots on/off. http://binarystarsoftware.com/bin/VectorClockv102.BIN

It supports the Atari driving controller. Should be finally released soon, just getting packaging printed atm. Added a small hidden game too :

Updated the Super Simon ROM to v1.01, which removes the wait until the last note faded before allowing input of the next, speeding up the rate of play.

Yeah, no problem. I just remapped the pins using this info : www.gamesx.com/controldata/vectrex.htm and segaretro.org/Light_Phaser#Pinout SMS Pin 7 (Light sensor) to Vectrex Pin 4 (Button 4) SMS Pin 6 (Trigger) to Vectrex Pin 3 (Button 3) SMS Pin 5 (VCC) to Vectrex Pin 7 (VCC) SMS Pin 8 (GND) to Vectrex Pin 8 (GND) I'm developing games using this pinout. Of course this still requires you to press buttons on the controller in port 1 for the original Vectrex lightpen releases but it'd be simple to make an adapter with 2 db9 plugs for use with those games. I chose pin 3 for trigger so we could make an adapter with passthrough for Atarivox (which uses pins 1 and 2 to communicate) or Atari driving controller. I'll be selling a lightgun game pack and lightgun adapter cables soon. Keep an eye on my website. Here's a short preview of another lightgun compatible game I'm working on.

Now supports light-gun (with adapter)

Added lightgun support to Whack-a-mole

no, you can easily target from a metre or more away.

I built a Sega Light Phaser to Vectrex adapter today. Here's a quick (and low quality) video of me using it with Animaction.

Added lightpen support.

Just a bit of fun with Vecvox/Atarivox+

Hidden 2 player game.

Ooops last one had audio muted.

Mode A

A short video of my latest game : "Galaxy Wars : Space Launcher". The video shows Mode B - "Galaxy Wars". The game contains 3 modes of play, Modes B and C are versions of the arcade games "Galaxy Wars" and "Space Launcher" by Universal/Taito and Nintendo respectively. Mode A is "Galaxy Wars : Space Launcher", which alternates levels from both games.

Read the description... High BUY IT NOW FOR ATTENTION GRAB ONLY (PIE 3.14...). $3950 buys it.

Isn't it fixed in the later units? The Minestorm 2 cart was sent to people who complained about the bug, it wasn't commercially available (which is why copies are worth $$$ nowadays).

Yeah, 50Tbrd, you could get a free version if you emailed the author before Star Sling was released, I got the ROM back then.

A rather dodgy performance by me with AmenLive

Some more sampled audio you might recognise... get into vectrex.BIN
