Hi all, I'm new to this forum after years in the wild away from RGV Vectrex. Just wondering whether anybody ever heard what Alex Herbert was doing with the 2 Vec connected game, like a Berzerk on it's side, he was thinking about programming. That would have been so cool.
Alex gave the Vectrex community some great games. I think he was becoming a dad years ago.
Cheers, Daniel Foot.

I'm new to this forum after years in the wild away from RGV Vectrex. I was very surprised to see your name after reading your reviews years back! Just wondering whether anybody ever heard what Alex Herbert was doing with the 2 Vec connected game, like a Berzerk on it's side, he was thinking about programming. That would have been so cool. You can see a video about Berzerk Arena and read about it under the August, 2016 archive at vectrex.co.uk/.

Hi VectorX, Thanks for the reply. Berzerk Arena is a very original and cool idea. Alex's game were so good too. Reminds me of the old C64 game 'Asylum', but Berzerk Arena is better. I'd love to get a hardcopy as I've only seen the demo when you sent the link. Great though! Thanks. Cheers,
Daniel Foot.
PS. Glad you remember me from the reviews I wrote 10 or 12 years ago.

Berzerk Arena is included with VIDE. You can play it through that emulator or make your own link cable and add the bin to a pair of flash carts.

I loaded up Berzerk Arena and played it on a real Vectrex vs AI and I can't come even close to winning this game that way! Linked vs an actual human would probably be a lot more fun.

as someone with 2 vectrex, 2 vecmulti's and a link cable, I can confirm that Berzerk Arena against a human is SO MUCH FUN!

Hi Daniel,
on a completely other note.
I copied and pasted some of your reviews into Vide. Are you ok with that or should I remove them?
Regards Malban

Hi Malban, Wow, I'm famous ;-)
Really though, sure you can cut and paste the reviews into Vide. No worries.
Cheers,
Daniel.
