If everything goes according to plan then there will be the next installment of my Vectrex programming course at Pforzheim University. It is scheduled to start by midst of March. I will create a new thread for this as soon as things get under way. Then there is my still unfinished long term project "The Count" which I hope to finish in the near future. And I have two more very early works in progress, "something I wanted to try - A" and "something I wanted to try – B". Too early to say if those will turn into games or what type of games that could be.
Cheers, Peer

All these games coming out - makes Vectorblade much less "urgent" somehow.
It's not as if there ain't enough games already...

... well, that certainly takes the pressure (or motivation?) from me to finish any of my stuff... 
Also eagerly looking forward to Vectorblade!!! |

'Ski Sunday' is coming soon and I should have 'Buzzard Bait' out later this year too.
Btw - "Outrun" was just a demo, Chris P has said there are no plans to develop it further.

Thanks for the feedback! removed Outrun from the list, added Peers and Chris games. Also had feedback from Peiselulli and Michael - their games are still work in progress. 15 Games now ... crazy |

Nic Lobo (pucpuc)-Great list, exciting stuff. Thank you for compiling it.
Although I thought that 'Hera Primera (AKA Juno First) (by peiselulli)' and 'Vec-Fu (AKA Oolong) (by Michael Borrmann)' were already out?
Cheers.

Vec-Fu was never finished in either form (it was released in two versions).

Peselulli said about Hera Primera: "there are still many levels missing, cover picture, new (not stolen) music etc." He responded recent to my post about the progress: "slower than expected, but it keeps going"
Michael Borrmann added a 2 player mode to VecFu and changed the working title to Oolong. "there is really not that much that needs to be done for the game" he wants to finish a game for another system first, so we can hope to see a final version in the near future

Does it come boxed or pcb only?
edit: got response on the comments page:
"The game comes in a (3D printed) full size Vectrex cartridge shell, so no bare PCB. However, there is no surrounding cardboard box as the original games had. So it’s just like a loose cartridge."
