Some people will only want it on cart if you put it out on cart, ie. to complete their collection. I'd like to see a reason to get it on cart rather than just download the game. Some exclusive feature to the physical release over the download.

I'd like to see some in-game music and some upgraded SFX (like sounds that get higher and higher the longer you consecutively collect dots and a sound when the dots reset). Another game dynamic you could added is that the stinger rotates when the dots reset, which means that you'd have to pick up the dots from the right after the first reset, the top after the second, left after the third and back to the bottom on the fourth.

You already know what features I'd like to see on Vecfahren but I also wouldnt mind seeing you actually get to the finish line (hey, there's no cutscenes for Vecfahren....)

I think a collection of games on one cartridge would be a good idea, more likely for people to buy as not everyone would want or could buy each title separately.

[Der Luchs]

Ok, no Cartridge Version of FRESSSAKK. That was pretty easy ^^

Edit: A Minigame Dont need Cutscenes ;-)

The time is fast approaching where someone can take any binary and make their own dedicated cart if they wanted. With all the programmable multicarts, there really has to be a reason why someone would want to spend the extra money just to have it on its own cart rather than just on a Multicart especially when the binary is a free download. Not that some of us wouldnt like to support the publisher and programmer so they keep making games for the system we love so much.

[Der Luchs]

It wasn't a support question, I asked because of VECFAHREN, that's all. I didn't understand it as well, besides someone don't own a progr.multi, but because I know that about 80% of the ppl who asked HAVE a progr.multi, I was wondering and thought I ask this time before.

So as I said: it's absolutly ok if there will be no Cartridge Release for FRESSSAKK. I agree with that ;-)

Hi all. Tester (and new member) here, too

As I said to Der Luchs before per email, works great but a normal PC emulator keyboard here seems too unprecise for me with this game (I also use ParaVBE). Will try on the Linux emulator handhelds (Wiz + Pandora) and report back later
(I´m afraid I have no real Vectrex...yet).

I think a collection of these games in a cart would be great.

[VECTREXER]

Sure, a low-priced cart would be fun to have.

BTW, plays
1 - 724
2 - 447
3 - 780

During the second and third games I did notice a problem in the dot placement in the playfield. Some dots on the left side are placed outside the player's movement area on the screen. So some dots will not be able to be stung by Mr FRESSSAKK.

[Der Luchs]

Ok, if there are enough Free Download Games, we're doing a collection :-)

Very true. But that's not the point. People who like cart releases (and, even moreso, with boxes and manuals) in order to have "official" physical releases. We like collecting the games in a complete form. Sure, we could make the carts and the boxes and everything else but that's not the same as a real, official release. With 3D printers people will soon be able to make copies of, say, old Star Wars action figures along with the packaging. But is that the same as an actual Star Wars action figure from when they were new? No.

I'll always prefer physical carts over the lazier binary download approach. I don't need instant gratification, either, and I'm willing to pay for an official release for something collectible like a game cart especially if it's in a box.  The best Vectrex releases come with overlays as well.  I mean, next to the vector display itself the screen overlay is the most unique "Vectrexy" aspect of Vectrex games.

I think to put mini games on one cartridge is ok. Besides the LCD-Style games.
So, I've got one game for a collection ^^

[binarystar]

668 on my first go. Nice little game, thanks

Went back to Fresssakk to try to get past 1000... took a few goes and I had 3 REALLY near misses in the high 900s but I made it... 1074



I took a video too of me pressing the button to go back to the main screen just as proof that I hadn't just printed a number on the screen!
