I want a shirt this yr! so make extra for us to buy! Good to read that some people are keen to get a Vector War shirt. Until now, I considered the shirt to be something special for the winners (like a trophy); I'll think about making it available for all participants of the Vector War. |

Malban will donate a limited edition of his game Karl Quappe for the Vector War VII. Thank you very much, Christopher, for this appealing prize! That's really great! Note: Right before the start of the Vector War all posts except the original post will be split into a separate topic "Vector War VII - Preparations". So feel free to let people know about any rubbish about your enthusiasm and other thoughts relating the Vector War, here.

cNp will donate a boxed copy of his Big Blue and one slim edition (PCB + instructions + cart label) of Big Blue. That's really good news - thank you very much, Chris, for donating these two prizes!

Vectrex game list is almost set and complete: = Original games Cosmic Chasm Fortress of Narzod Polar Rescue Rip Off Solar Quest Spinball Web Wars = Homebrew Gravitrex Star Fire Spirits Star Sling Vectrexagon V-Frogger / Karl Quappe With V-Frogger and Karl Quappe I'm not 100% clear. Malban would provide a binary version of Karl Quappe for free download but it will require a Flashcart like VecFlash, VecMulti, or VecFever which can be a limitation to some players. Therefore I've started a poll "V-Frogger or Karl Quappe?" |

Hopefully I'll be able to carve out an hour or two and have a go. Never done it before and don't really play many games -someone's got to come last!

A note on Web Wars / Web Warp: In Web Wars the number of trophies will count - not the score. Maximum is 20 trophies because succeeding trophies are invisible. |

Glad to have you on-board fighting the good fight new recruit. I'm out of practice, but this Vector War Veteran is Re-Enlisting this year and hopes to win a few battles. Who's with me?! Side thoughts as a Vectrex Veteran: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Alien Forces on fire in the higher levels of Mine Storm. I've watched Vector-beams glitter in the dark for nearly 35 years. All those moments will be lost in time, like CRTs in the rain. When, I die." "VECTOR WAR! (Huh!)... What is it good for? (Absolutely High-Scores.)" ^_^ |

Very good to read that some people look much forward to the Vector War. Already, I can say that Vector War T-Shirts can be purchased after the Vector War by whoever participated and qualified the Vector War VII. I've decided to change the game list a bit: Y.A.S.I. replaces Star Sling. Reason is that Star Fire Spirits, Vectrexagon, and Star Sling have been played in Vector War VI, already. Repeating some games is good but repeating three out of five homebrew games is too much. Game list is now: = Original games Cosmic Chasm Fortress of Narzod Polar Rescue Rip Off Solar Quest Spinball Web Wars = Homebrew Gravitrex Star Fire Spirits Vectrexagon V-Frogger / Karl Quappe Y.A.S.I. |

Great work setting this up again Helmut! One thing to make clear... it was Helmut who actually bought an extra boxed copy of Big Blue last year and asked me to keep it for the competition... Helmut you must have forgotten  So all credit there to Helmut. I will add an extra manual to that auction with some hand drawn sketches of sprites and personalisation. I am donating the PCB/cart label/manual version though and will probably put in something extra in there too. cNp |
