  1. The collision detection in this game is brutal. Even the first run of the maze is a complete PITA. I do want to have a go with a d-pad or digital joystick to see if it makes life a little easier.
  2. It's only been 10 years, they may still turn up... right after monkeys fly out of my butt. That jerkweed is the reason I don't pledge crowdfunding campaigns anymore.
  3. Hyperchase might be a good one just to infuriate everyone equally :-D.
  4. I suggest Vectrexagon mainly because I dominate at it :-).
  5. No idea why those yellow bodge wires are there. Someone has recapped the board and there is evidence of rework on some of the chips and resistors. Maybe there are a bunch of lifted pads and ripped traces on the bottom of the board and the bodges were put in as repairs.
  6. $400 was the deal of a lifetime and some butthole was trying to lowball you? Any repair tech worth his salt is worth $125 an hour and it probably takes 2 hours for the best of them to recap a Vectrex and that is assuming that no vias or traces have to be repaired. Some people...
  7. I have one lightpen on hand and parts coming for 5 more. This will very likely be the last batch that I make. Thanks to everyone who has purchased one.
  8. I actually posted this on the FB group. Very good deal btw.
  9. Yeah, you should definitely fix it. Certainly at least open it up and check the fuse. If the fuse is not blown and it's still not working, some basic steps can be performed with a multimeter to further diagnose any issues. Reach out if you decide to crack it open.
  10. Damn, that's a bummer. I'm in Cincinnati and could have maybe given it a look for you. Could be as simple as a blown fuse.
  11. I have a box and manual listed for an Atari 400 48K memory expansion. Box also had a set of NOS chips for an 810 disk drive. No idea what it is potentially worth so I started the bid at $5. https://www.ebay.com/itm/186261855823
  12. Nothing but a digital caliper and a metric ruler. The only real guessing game was the retainers that hold the sides of the boards but it really only took one or two prototyping attempts to get right.
