Yeah, I do remember that project. I don't think he ever posted a binary. Ambitious and challenging to say the least...  |

The link's been up forever in the Vectrex games database. Guess you never saw it there.
Yeah, a bit too much of a project for the Vectrex to do probably, due to too much going on at once that would cause slowdowns. A game of that sort would still be fun and different for the system though.

Robotron = best. game. ever. (video, pinball, board, card, you name it)
Love the Geometry Wars/Grid Wars/etc. slew of PC games that came out a little while ago. The Vectrex might be well-suited to a gae more like those, since those games are using flashy raster effects to emulate vector-style graphics...

That would have been a cool game to see on the venerable Vectrex!

Still could be, some decade! (Anyone ever e-mail this guy to see if he's done anything else with it?)

I've spoken with Mark. He has other priorities and the limitations of the Vectrex have pretty much stalemated him but he has a great vision for what it could be.
