Totally non-plussed, turned on the Vectrex yesterday to warm up, came back later to find a monitor with a white dot problem. Don't know if I'll get the time to fix it this week... Bah!

Highscore list has been updated. Lady Eclipse is the first to qualify and #1, now. ___ D-Type : Too bad with your broken Vectrex console. :/ Your avatar indicates that you're familiar with electtronics. I cross my fingers that you can fix it.

thought I should play a game, too, so played a small round of Solar Quest picload.org/view/drralwrl/img_0033.jpg.htmlnice enough game but I kept getting distracted because I really missed a button rotation feature like the original, the shot precision is so-so, there's an occasional zeroref missing when I pick up those small stars afterwards and on my 0-delay, no-buzz Vectrex most sprites are displayed incorrectly, esp. the one that looks similar to the Asteroids player...

Every day a "new" game. I just realized how little I actually played my vectrex... Malban

Enough to more than qualify now... Cosmic Chasm 52,830 I tell ya, this is one of *those* games that could've used a calibration program, as the hitbox can be b. s. on this one, as I lost two ships when I was on my way out of an area and I got blown up with nothing touching me. Good game otherwise though and could've done better; grrrr... Spinball 169,915

This must be the worst game in the whole Vectrex line up. At least I hope there is nothing worse... that would indeed be TERRIBLE...

Wow, Vector X, great Cosmic Chasm score. Did you reach mission 6 or 7 ? I remember, that Mission 8 is unplayable hard when I reached it a long time ago, because this time I only reached Mission 5... Cosmic Chasm: 42530 Fortress of Narzod: 9930 Space Inva... uhmm Y.A.S.I: 13550

Malban, you don't think Clean Sweep is the worst, or could you not get to the later levels where it just loops? I also heard Heads Up was bad but have never played it. Wow, Vector X, great Cosmic Chasm score. Thanks! Did you reach mission 6 or 7 ? I think I was only on 5, as at one point the bomb went off on I think the 4th mission, which I had to start that one over, therefore getting points for shooting a bunch of Planet Protectors all over again.

Damn - didn't have any "Endurance" in my last shots. Thankfully at least YASI has an eEprom :-). And after that score I am sure I will never play Spinball again... Sprinball: 412395 YASI: 10670 Malban

This year there's an extra public holiday on 31st October because of 500th year since the Reformation. This helped me to find time to play some Vectrex games - just enough to qualify. In addition I had a decent Y.A.S.I. score but my 5 year old record of more than 12.000 points reappeared instead of my today's record. :/ I've reset the highscores of Y.A.S.I. & Protector, now. Cosmic Chasm: 8390 Fortress of Narzod: 7490 Karl Quappe: 8200 Rip Off: 2120 Solar Quest: 139900 StarFire: 1165
