    The game Quartz's Quest has been updated and enhanced and is now available from www.vectorrepublic.co.uk 

     

    Available as a "name your own price" rom from denebola-interactive.itch.io/quartzs-quest/ it has had a number of additions and enhancements and given the Vector Republic physical release treatment :)

     

    A quick list of the improvements/additions in this physical version over the "name your own price" digital version that came out a couple years back:

     

    - A number of gameplay balancing changes to enhance the challenge and improve the difficulty curve as well as replayability

    - Many graphical enhancements and additions to both the overworld and the dungeons

    - A custom fantasy style font added to replace the system font

    - Optimised text routines to eliminate flicker and slowdown on text heavy screens (by the genius that is Malban!)

    - Original music added to the title page composed by Jon Bennett who did the Frontier music

    - Interface improvements in shops to avoid buying inferior kit

    - Text changes and corrections as well as formatted better to work with the overlay

    - Bug fixes

    Hi,

     

    BinaryStar is right, there's no Bank Switching (or anything clever!) going on in Big Blue; just BIOS calls to set intensity... I set intensity generally at the lower end of things so on the odd Vectrex it requires the brightness to go a bit higher but mostly it's fine as is (it's ok on all 7 of my test machines).

     

    In Frontier I went a bit higher with the intensities in general.

     

    Cheers,

     

    Chris

    How do we pre-order (or did I miss it?)? Excited for this game!

     

    :)

     

    I've quietly begun pre-orders to help pay some of the up front printing costs... if you use the Big Blue link to buy the game for your location (UK/EU/Rest of the World) and put a message in the PayPal payment to say it's a pre order for Frontier, along with your address, then I'll add you to the list:

    Most of the individual items are ordered now so still on track to ship by the end of May.

    In case the box layout is not at printing yet:

     

    There's tiny little typo in the german description. It has to be

    'mit zusätzlichem Controller', not 'mitzusätzlichem Keyboard'

     

    Hi Elwee, thanks for that... I have put a space in between mit and zusätzlichem.... I went with keyboard as, strangely, that is what it says on the original boxes!

     

    Hopefully getting the boxes printed next week; should have final physical product by the end of May :)

    Wow, can't believe I didn't update this since the 2 player Vs was relegated to a secondary part of the release and a fully fledged 1 player game was realised! Near;ly ready to release full boxed game with overlay etc. like Big Blue was.

    Interesting. I would have thought that prices were higher. Did you offer international shipping, Chris?

     

    Yes, most sold internationally; good photos, some low numbered carts too... was all a bit random... some others I sold at the same time made way more than expected but I only listed the ones asked about :)
