I'll wait until my new friend introduces himself.
Update: New entries for NELS, Verzerk, Pythagorean Theorem, and VecKey. Changed a number of info such as VecAdapt now sold out. Added a ton of pictures especially of the CGC Custom Carts. Also, modified the wiki hyperlinks since so many new pages have been added.
Next week I'm on vacation and intend to add the Original Release Games. Perfect timing since I just recently acquired 15 like-new CIB games and have almost every original game. If anyone has pristine/very good examples of Art Master and the 3D games for pictures, please let me know.

Another update. The Guide now includes Original release games. It includes pictures for US, European and Japanese versions but I do need pictures of the Canadian versions if anyone can help me with those.

Looking at the Checklist, what was the Six Pack cart by Binary Star? New one on me, unless my memory is failing. Oh, and if you sort by rarity, 10 comes before 2, 3, 4 etc in the list, might need to recode that part. And Hexed had 50 made, not 20. Now I'm also curious as to who has full US, Europe and Japanese sets like myself  |

Next update will have information on the Six-pack but Chris informed me that it was one-off multicart that he made for a friend which included Bedlam, Cosmic Chasm, Narzod, Rip Off, Solar Quest and Star Castle. Chris sent me pictures to include in the Guide. Thank-you for looking over the Checklist. I will look at making the corrections. I'd also like to include pictures of all version of the carts. I know that MB carts had versions at least for some both Made in Ireland and Made in Hong Kong. One thing that I've never seen anyone point out is that the carts Made in Ireland actually have different cart shells from all other releases. There is a lot more roundness to its form. This is noticeable especially around the label which has a considerable radius to its corners. All Mine Storm II carts that I have seen use this cart shell(also Made in Ireland). tbone1892001.wix.com/vectrex-guide#!clean-sweep/c1vz1 For Clean Sweep, I have pictures of both versions of the MB carts. However, I do need pictures of the Bandai version. |

The carts made in Hong Kong use the GCE mould, whereas the carts made in Ireland use the MB mould. That's the difference in shape, and what is embossed on the back of the shell. There's also a tiny dimple on the MB mould backside. Most of my MB carts use the MB mould, but a few use GCE shells.
Do you just need a shot of the Kouso Clean Sweep cart? I can take one there...

Mr. Boston missing from the List, as well as missing from the Clean Sweep Guide. Feel free to use my previously posted pics.

I put it under "Special Games" along with Minestorm II. Eventually I'll add prototypes, variations in systems, the carrying bag and cover and controllers.

Finally found a picture of the Protector/YASI cart I saw for auction a few years ago. I believe that its a custom insert though.  |

Lots of new stuff for the Guide. There are now entries for Binary Star's Vector Pong, Test Cart Rev 5 and Six-Pack Cart as well as the original Test Cart Rev 4. Most of the original Vectrex releases now have pictures of the Canadian versions and Mayhem provided me a picture of the Bandai Clean Sweep. More pictures are added all the time. The biggest announcement is that there is now a download section where all the overlay designs I have made publicly available can be downloaded in one place. To celebrate this, I have also designed a new Dark Tower overlay. Check it out. tbone1892001.wix.com/vectrex-guide#!downloads/cqz |

VeCaves has a rogue apostrophe in it on the timeline! Also there is evidence the 3D Imager didn't actually come out until January 1984. Anyone else care to opine there? Search Entries on the main page is left aligned not centred (or is that deliberate?).
I would have loved to have gotten a VecArcade kit, but it was just too impractical for me at the time. Maybe one will surface in the future...
