Is it just one person writing reviews for VGC? Dave does the majority of them. There are alternate reviews that are put up by his readers. One or more people (I don't know how many exactly) have handled a few others before, but not many. Anyways, I enjoy reading the reviews on that site - they're concise, humorous and at times totally wrong. (laughs!!) Exactly!

I enjoy reading Dave's reviews - particularly the Atari 2600 section - they are quite entertaining. I think the issue with Vectrex in general on his site is that he and 99.9% of his readership just don't get 'Vectrex'.

.. I agree it could be of great consequence if this guy "failed" a NEW homebrew title. Has he ever done this?

Take it with a grain of salt. He doesn't like your game, oh well - your sales have proven there are people who do. On a related note - I'm guessing that my review of Sundance in Retrocade Magazine #2 wasn't offensive, as you haven't called me out on forums yet

I gave it a B+ score! I thought I was very thorough in my playthrough, which is this guy's obvious downfall.
I had to be honest on a couple points - such as the less-than-intuitive (but unavoidable) control scheme and lack of an overlay - but I like Sundance and play it regularly. It also has a great history!

Oh, there's nothing wrong with a B+ rating though. I'd definitely take it

So please don't jump to conclusions. Plus this forum has been all but dead, so I wanted to liven things up a bit You're welcome, Darryl ;D

I'm hoping that we can review Warrior for issue 3 - what's the approximate release date? Whatever it is, it's not as bad as the Atari 7800 XM project

June 14th is the release date. It will take several weeks to ship them all, shipping in order of serial #.

I'll write that review for you Rob, if you'd like. I'm planning on doing a couple youtube videos about it as well, but we'll see what I have time to accomplish

Hope to see some more point-of-views on the Vectrex. I like the VGC's reviews and candor. I think he writes to the masses as opposed to the eccentrics(insert any die-hard system owner). Having said that though, he was way off-base on his Odyssey 2 reviews. Who gives Alien Invaders Plus an F grade. It's a better version of Space Invaders. Just my thoughts.

I played that for the first time ever at a gaming expo a few months ago. Not that great a game but not an F either.
