Looking

There is no number known, however I think that the sticker on the PCB may help if ever anyone were to check their copy.

It's consistent with a lot of prototypes I've seen but it's the bare PCB which really tells the story. So you'll need that picture.

John Donzilla told me that he had been given a complete working binary several years and you can see a dedicated cart in Martijn Van Weltings collection. There are also probably 3-4 fully working prototypes out there as well.

This would be considered an unauthorized cartridge of Mail Plane. Madtronix sells the authorize version as a bare PCB painted blue and in the future a GCE style boxed version may be available. At 50 bucks, you could purchase the Madtronix version, a vectrex shell from Sean Kelly or Chris Romero and make your own label with money left over.

Vectrex Enthusiasts are very active and supportive. New members enter all the time and every time people ask where old or new games can be found, its answered. Seems almost once a week. People are always pointed in the right direction. If you chose to buy a programmable multicart from Richard Hutchinson or Juan Mateos, you're directed to the appropriate places to download games, in addition to the ones already on the cart. Parabellum has also included most of the files with ParaJVE for emulation, so there's not really a need for a "rom set", even if they were Public Domain which none are. Even Der Luchs is not saying his stuff is Public Domain, only that you may include them. As far as original releases go, pictures, box art and manual scans are all pretty much found together on Spike's Big Page or Vectrex World or Digital Press, so you're not really doing anything new. And unless you go to a developers website, most websites list developers websites, forums or pages for information, so there's already a great big circle of information for anyone with half a second to look for it. So, a big shareware file of information and files that other people made available and you copied to distribute for yourself isn't providing anything new or useful. If you would like to provide a useful and innovative service to the Vectrex community in which you don't have to ignore the naysayers, then you can do as previously suggested and just contribute pictures, information and links to the Vectrex Wikia to make it as complete as possible and make it a one stop source for Vectrex information. Not a soul will discourage you from that.

Chris has done a great job on Death Chase for the Vectrex. A fantastic version and I'm sure that it will be considered a favorite once its released.

How were there never any replies to this?!? Was there just no one interested in the Vectrex on Atari Age back then? I know their are a lot more people interest now.

I am all about noble causes, I've been involved in several relating to the Vectrex - Manual2 Project, adding entries to the Vectrex Wiki, creating websites to inform, and working on the Definitive Guide to the Vectrex. You have a noble endeavor. However, the difference between Public Domain and private use is a hot subject. Some developers like Chris Tumbler have been trying to get their material removed from these public sites for years. There's a huge misinterpretation of the developers intent which also includes the original "vintage" games. I present an issue to you. Should you be unable to contact a developer, will you assume the wish is that you propagate and redistribute the material as if it was their wish?

Still willing to trade dollar bills for these items.

They were some of the last games released for the Vectrex.

Pole Position is a tough one. I've been trying to get a copy of Polar Rescue CIB and seller want Mint CIB prices for missing manual or overlay and beat up boxes. Sometimes games pop up on Game Gavel. Rick Weiss had a copy of Pole Position he was trying to sell.

I always thought itd be nice if there was a service like that printed custom boxes like I've seen for the 2600 however, looking at this thread, it looks like a nice solution. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/119903-build-your-own-atari-2600-boxes/

Now you see why it wasn't worth it at less than 10 bucks each. Then add in the fact that some got damaged in the mail so you had to do it again.

By the time you save up to get it AND manage to win the auction, George might already release it to freely downloadable binary. Prices fluctuate just like anything else. There were a lot of "well-sold" auctions.

Ok. From memory, I thought it was a VHS clamshell but I guess its one of those multi-game cases that holds Genesis, SNES, etc. 13 is the number propagated by Manu himself. http://vectorgaming.proboards.com/thread/126/vec-sports-boxing?page=1

I was typing up my response as Mayhem responded. The only thing I have to add is that GDG's initial 100 were sold in VHS clamshell cases.

http://computer-classics.de/cah_blog2/test-resource-post/vectrex/ These files are better than scans. YASI is a game. Yet Another Space Invaders. It was paired with Protector and released by Classic Game Creations but was programmed by Alex Herbert. http://vectrex.wikia.com/wiki/Protector/Y*A*S*I While a little on the expensive side, VectrexMad's YASI overlays were so because they were made in so small a run. In addition, they are not inkjet transparencies and lamenting sheets. They are professional screen printed overlays just as the originals were. I've done plenty of the inkjet method and they are no where near the quality and color that screen printed ones are.

I like the progress your making on this game. There are some really nice elements.

Edward got completely out of making them. I garauntee that if you do a screen printed run of just about any overlay, you'll sell them all. minestorm is still one of the most requested overlays and the prices for originals still garner around 25-30 bucks. Pole Postition, Star Castle and Polar Rescue are also in high demand. I think it'd be cool to have original designs with alternative colors. There are also some homebrew games that overlays would sell well such as the popular Protector, which needs an every-mans overlay. VectrexMad just did a run of 50 plus YASI overlays and sold out in no time. War of the World might be a good one too. It's still in production, a nice game and Gliptitude has been wanting to get one made for a while. We worked on a design together.

Was able to get a hold of Color Clash LE, still looking for the others.
