Great interview - that Vector Patrol looks like it is going to be superb!

[Nebulon]

Great interview!

 

After playing the excellent Vector Pilot, I'm definitely getting Vector Patrol when it comes out. Hopefully the "Walking on the Moon" music makes it into the game. And I really like the Space 1999 font. I suppose that mean the moon was blasted out of orbit....

 

Is Vectruss a version of Gyruss? If so, I'm interested.

 

And Armor Attack II sounds awesome. Hopefully that sees a release sometime in the future. A scrolling map is the perfect enhancement to the original.

 

A friend of mine is also a 6809 assembly language programmer. He has very similar great things to say about that chip.

I wonder how things are going with vector patrol?

I am a beta tester of Vector Patrol and I can ensure you that this will be a major hit ! We (beta testers) have received new betas late Octomber....Game is solid rock, gameplay rox and Kristof is looking new stuff to polish it out. It is a 1:1 port of the original but with a lot of extras being added. Patience and you will be rewared

Any guess on a release date?

[geoanas]

Nope, nothing yet...

[Mayhem]

I need to get on this more, but seeing as a new build dropped last night, then maybe the timing is perfect...!

 

The release date will be when it's ready, the old Nintendo adage heh...
