Mayhem Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hmmm... interesting there. Probably would need dumping to see if there's actually any differences to the retail version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desfeek Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Wow, amazing find. Please, pictures of everything would be great! Especially that wooden case! Never heard of the name variation Dr. Flip...kind of like how Pitcher's Duel was supposed to be Batter Up! for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 They look genuine to me. Still would need dumping to check for any difference bar the title screen though. Where in the world are you, and would you lend them to be dumped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desfeek Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 *cough* Joust Evolution *cough* (I understand your hesitation, just ribbing you haha) Steven, you should really try somebody to dump those ROMs. Richard H. or Mayhem are both very trustworthy, as well as Martijn Wenting (a countryman of yours). You could even have them dump it, but not release it to the public...it would just be informational to have someone analyze the prototype source code. Thanks!

steven78 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 i do not collect vectrex myself.. i do collect sealed nintendo games.. or any nice NES items.. i rather trade or sale them before dumping. Anybody intrestted? or should put them in the for sale section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desfeek Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 PM sent. If you aren't interested in these items, there are many people who would love to have these. One question though, are they PAL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Vectrex doesn't have PAL or NTSC, which certainly helps buying cartridges from anywhere in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desfeek Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I know this, I just don't collect UK CIB games. If he has Heads Up! Action Soccer, I would make an offer on it. Pics of the Wooden Case? Has John sent you those Overlays Mayhem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven78 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 i do have the heads up action soccer cart only, pics of the wooden case are coming up and a movie of star ship.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desfeek Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 No thanks, I already have a cart, manual, overlay. Just need the box/inlay. Please, pictures of that distributor box would be cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desfeek Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 PM sent. That case is crazy cool, I just wish it had pockets for overlays. I love that it has (still has!) a key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven78 Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 well the overlays are under the cart sliders,in the inside the compleet thing is covert with soft matirial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
