    First post (5/27/2018 - now 8/2019 - so 15 months later...) shows... well everything - but then the cart is probably just a shell... So 'everything' is ready except for the game? NOT being critical - just trying to understand the process!

    The project did get put on hiatus for quite a while, that damned thing called "real life" intervened for some members. The game itself (ie the ROM) is already out there, that was the only thing ready at the start of matters heh.

     

    But in quick fire terms, the following needed or needs to still occur (although we are getting there)...

     

    - agreement from Jay Smith for the project to go ahead, considering he owns the rights to all the original Vectrex games

    - design and agreement for the box artwork, front and box

    - physical production of the box, find someone to do it, agree a price, receive units

    - design and agreement for the cart label

    - design and agreement for the manual, layout and text, proof-reading

    - physical production of the manual, find someone to do it, agree a price, receive units

    - design and agreement for the overlay, colours, whether to include a notch, quality consideration

    - physical production of the overlay, find someone to do it, agree a price, receive units

    - agree purchase and supply of plastic cart holders, overlay sleeves and clear box protectors for shipping.

    - physical production of the cartridge board and burning of the game to ROM, find someone to do it, agree a price, receive units, test units to make they work

     

    Finally then it can be all put together and we can start thinking about making it available for sale! Now some of the above physical production we have done, but a lot of it has been produced by other members of the Vectrex community as they have more experience. All the design and internal decision making was us though.

    Now I see what people meant by the need to drag...

    I almost always type my responses to quoted text below the quote box, which I also imagine most other people do as well. So having to move that initial quote box is not something that I need to do often.  Having said that, I would prefer if you could get the cursor above that first quote box and then start typing directly above it.

     

     ..Al

    Because I will quite often type a reply to the main thread as a general comment, and then address a specific point that's in the quote as well, in the same post ;)

    There are a few tricks for Impossible Mission, one definitely is don't bother with the puzzles until you have all 36 pieces! Another is knowing (or working out from multiple plays) that 18 of the pieces are always the same, in nine pairs. The other 18 are nine randomly selected other pairs that fit the mainstays. Once you understand which 18 always crop up, it becomes a lot easier heh. My best score for completing the game is just over 30k iirc.

    Double post originally

    And in the process of submitting that reply above, noticed something else, don't know if it was in the previous forum build or not.

     

    If you are on page X, and quote and reply to someone, but the latest page is page X+4 for example, when you submit the reply, you aren't taken to the last page. So I submitted, thought nothing had happened, submitted again, when to the last page and then realised I'd posted twice. So editing the second reply to put this here! @Albert you can probably remember better than me on this front!

    I was baffled by that @Albert , there was no text box for entering a status update UNTIL I tapped on the header text  “status update” in the window and then it suddenly appeared! 

     

    My question... on the main forum page, on the right hand side, there are lists for the latest status updates, topics and blog entries. Any way to turn that off?
