vectrex

it's one of those it might be tomorrow it might be 5 years from now deals at this point. Nothing anyone can do about it, just wait.

it never had an overlay, I bought it new on release in Nov 2004 from vectrexcarts.com (Mark Shaker) and it was just a generic videogame case with color cover, cart/pcb/label and small booklet.

I am not doing another run but if someone else would like to contact W.B. Jones Spring Co in Wilder, KY you can send them a sample spring to work from or I think these specs will get you the same spring: T.335 x .022 x 1.37sc, RH

it's not 404, it's still there the page some times is unreachable (no http code for that) try again, a few times if need be.

I've seen the sound code, it's kinda remarkable how little it takes to generate the sounds, looking forward to getting the actual game.

I got a chance to play Moon Patrol arcade at Free Play arcade in Providence, RI and it indeed does accelerate faster than Vector Patrol, but um so what Maybe it's a difficulty setting on the arcade board too, I do no know.

more like Ben Hack, amirite?

er, he is known for not replying to emails at this point, especially if it's a "when can I expect my stuff?" email.

yes Helmut, it's a joke. there is a at the end.

here it is https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2868602

i was pretty sure the files to print these with any 3d printing services are out there. i dunno have a 3d printer so i don't know to much about it. i did take the files to print the Shell for the controller and it cost like $100 from the site i checked...

that guy is obviously just jealous, I'd like to see him do better?

you can download protector/yasi free from Alex Herbert's site still, and Vector Vaders is $20 on cart from packrat. I think you can find the rom out there too.

what games are you talking about?

Spudster's Revenge: 1 Proto sold on ebay (numbered #0, slightly different code) 14 Developers Editions (only for trade with developers of other vectrex games, and my personal copy, only version with a cover and shell with label, different title screen, slightly different code, only 5 made so far) 100 Bargain Editions, numbered copies just PCB and EPROM or OTP PROM Free Edition ROM Download, missing all easter eggs. available here http://entropy.tmok.com/~gauze/vectrex/wip/spud_free.bin new rare ones: Karl Quappe Limited edition, I think 11 made with Retail style box, and 4 made with Foil Letter pressed box. (unlimited Packrat edition with clamshell out now too) Robot Arena (38 made, cart only)

SOLD OUT now. I think Console5 still has some loose ones I sold him if you need some.

wow that's like a million times more useful than the source I was stepping through commenting before I realized it didn't assemble :S thanks for the tip.

I know it's bad form to bump 12 year old threads but the suggestions here don't work with Turmoil rom I have. it plays in stella when I disassemble it: ./distella -pafs -o1 -b -r ./turmoil.bin > turmoil-1.s (I tried many other command lines too, with and without -c -b -r -f -p) and then assemble with dasm it I get either a 1030 byte binary (that loaded in stella and just shows a black screen) or 4098 bytes (black screen and that plays a screechy tone in a loop) distella is ver 3.01 dasm is 2.20.11 any help? should I just use another disassembler if so which?

there are at least 2 versions of the credits I have seen.

the death valley courses are shown in the demo if you let it run for a while so those courses are not any kind of secret.

this thing here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_Boy See the list of included games with correct title names as most of the names are obfuscated because this is a bootleg item. I bought 2 when I was in europe in 1996 and never opened this one. See pictures for condition, it does have some dings and scrapes. $50ppd inside US I am pretty sure they do not make these anymore.

I have one of these in original box anyone interested in buying (or trade for vectrex items)

I think your memory is faulty as I got mine in March 2016 (23 months ago) and mine is numbered 544. (or they are not sequential which would be pretty odd)

Consider a Bargain edition for those of us who don't care that much about the box and overlays (or even a cart shell) I don't think there is a ROM of this but someone correct me if I am wrong.
