Retro Revival Event - Big Blue, NOX, Death Chase, Bomb Jack

[cNp]

Had a brilliant weekend at the Revival Retro event in Walsall, UK ... loads of vectrex and non-Vectrex highlights and I thought I'd share the Vec stuff here. It's the second time I've shown Big Blue at Revival and I think this event could become the place to see new and obscure Vectrex games.


Set up first thing Saturday... made a topper to attract extra attention and was wearing Big Blue T-shirts both days.


5 vectrexes for people to play on... this was before Chris (Binarystar) and James G Watt turned up with their wares.



Shaun Holley from the excellent 10 Pence Arcade podcast having a play.


Apologies for orientation of photos... it seems arbitrary in imgbox and no rotating at my end seems to make a jot of difference... anyway...

Brilliant to meet games programming legend jim Bagley and get to check out his work in progress on Bomb Jack.





Stramash Zone in action although photo taken when not much was on screen


NOX being played


More Stramash Zone with a Death Chase overlay


Check out that controller!  Created by Victor 'Marland, also of the 10 Pence Arcade podcast... not yet available and only 11 being made I believe.

Great! I wish I had been there! Is Stramash a game coded by Jim and Chris?

[binarystar]

Stramash Zone is coded only by Jim. Had a great time at the show. Lovely to meet you Chris, Richard, Vic and other folks on the scene. I was absolutely exhausted by the end of the day but it was worth the journey

[TrekMD]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing these!

Stramash Zone is a take on Battlezone I guess?

A video (not mine) of the event showing everything there ... worth a look even though it's in portrait and not landscape

Ugh, vertical video syndrome!
