A while back, Ulli, a member of the Forum 64 has started a Vectrex clone of Juno First named Hera Primera. Here's a video of the current test version: The binary is available in the Forum 64 (German). I'd say this looks like another promising Vectrex game - I really hope that the author finishes and releases it.

Yes, thanks for finding and posting this hcmffm! I love getting new things to play on my Vectrex! It always feels like someone got you a random gift you really like, just because. ^_^

I suspect I will be trying this out later with a new acquisition of mine...

Downloaded and played and it's fantastic already... loads going on, smooth gameplay and music playing during the game... impressive stuff.

It does look good, I'll have to try it.
I hope they really refine it and try different things and make it as complete as possible. .. The Atari 2600 version proves that you can do this without strictly imitating the original, and that you can do it so well that no one else will likely ever attempt to remake that game for that console again.

I just realized that you have to register with the Forum 64 and be logged in to download the binary. I'll ask author Peiselulli for permission to mirror the binary.

Yes... I tried downloading it and got this: "Access denied. You are not authorized to view this page."
Might be difficult to register, as I don't know German.

Had the same problem. Would be great if it were possible to have the binary mirrored.

Choice between English and German using the flag in the top left corner. Didn't have any issue signing up.
