George has said there is likely to be a second run of Lord Of The Robots in the future, so you may get one there. By complete, do you want the box and manual? There were only 20 CIB copies of Star Sling made so you'll be insanely lucky to find one of those up for grabs. It's usually found in the unlimited, cart only format now.

yeah i know starsling will be very very difficult, but the cart edition will be ok for that...

 

as for lord of the robots I would prefer the first run copy, but of course if there's ever a second run i'll grab that one also...

 

already have a complete official releases collection and the above homebrews i think are the only limited edition homebrews that I miss to have a complete collection, so i need these badly :)

At least you are aware of the difficulties ahead of you. I think I've seen one Star Sling LE sold on eBay ever and it went for about $150. Debris has turned up a few times at least; which do you want though, the Exclusive (20) or Limited edition (80)? Spinnerama shouldn't be too tricky, that appears every so often, fairly sure I saw a fair few copies last year.

Actually most of the games i'm looking for turned out on ebay during summer...

But, it was a time when i had some economic difficulties and couldn't spare the cash...tried to get LOGO (which is first priority for me) but was overbid.

Debris I know the exclusive edition is going to be too hard and expensive, so i'll settle with the limited.

I traded for my Exclusive Edition of Debris, as Martijn had one left he was holding for auction. But I tempted it away with some hard to find stuff he needed heh. I haven't seen a Protector LE in ages actually, although there have been a few on eBay in the years since its release. I wish you luck. Do you have a copy of VeCaves btw? If so, hold onto it, I am beginning to think that's one of the hardest homebrew to find in terms of people letting copies go; believe I've seen ONE in the 8 years since it came out. Even one of the biggest Vectrex collectors ever, David Lillestrom, didn't have a copy of that...

VecCaves???? I WISH !!! hahaha

unfortunatelly living in Greece and with only a couple of years as a vectrex collector, expecting to get my hands on veccaves would be like expecting to find a Mr. Boston for 100usd :P

I'm just heading for the easier to get homebrews...i've seen most of the ones I need now in ebay during the past couple of years, but my financials didn't let me acquire them at the time...

in any case Mayhem if you have something that you're wiling to sell please let me know :D

Hi. Sorry for the confusion on this.

 

I will be re-releasing 3D Sector-X later this year in cartridge form. The game will be identical to the first run, but will not include an engraved metal box lid. The lid will have a label like most of my other Vectrex releases. In turn, the price will be $5 lower, direct difference in cost for labeled vs engraved lids. The re-release will begin with Cartridge #101, as the first run was exactly 100 cartridges.

 

3D Lord of the Robots will be released as a freeware rom during the holiday season (November). It's my holiday gift for Vec fans of 2010. In 2009 I

released a freeware rom of Vector 21.

I had not heard of production beyond that but I was out of the game for a while. Did 3D Vec Trek become 3D Star Fury?
