International Play Your Vectrex Day (Nov. 1)

[wyldephang]

I still don't have a Vectrex, but I hope you guys have fun with it!

Vectrex is the greatest thing ever, especially if you can get ahold of the new homebrews. Vector Patrol is going to be out of this world.

You can still play it on emulator and participate.

Given I was able to meet with Johannes at Eurocon this year, I have the perfect idea for what I'm going to do... something a few people have asked about for a fair while...

[laseractiveguy]

I could go for a high score on VeCaves... but Solar Quest is my all-time favorite. I have an awesome idea for VeCaves II with a fresh new idea... unfortunately I can only program for the Apple II... wonder if mark would allow me to use the name.

I got the day off. So, I'll be able to do a lot of Vectrex activities.

I would have liked to be more involved in the vectrex scene this year with new hardware releases... but work, family, and other issues are consuming all my time.

Neverheless I have enjoyed a lot reading all of you in this forum...

I think it has been a great year for the vectrex: Der Luchs and Madtronix releases, Vectrex Roli funny and informative videos, Chistopher Tumber mater classes, all the new high scores, the Michele´s vectrex wraps, Vectrexmad´s YASI overlay, ... (excuse me if I forgot something)

So I would like to thank all of you raffling a MVBD+MVRMC16in1 kit among all this year participants.

I'd like to participate, even though my Vectrex and my work in progress prototype custom controller won't be ready by tomorrow. I can use ParaJVE for now. What exactly are we doing for November 1st? I'm also interested in that Vectrex multicart. Thanks.

We're just playing one or more games and passing along that record of such to the wiki page.

I might just be playing Sectis here, personally.

I wasn't able to get onto the filming I wanted to do today, so I suppose it'll actually be tomorrow! Then hoping it's good in one take, and uploaded to YouTube...

Today, I played a lot of games with Veccy : sector X, shifted, I cyborg, Sternenkrieger and Zahlen Raten ... Veccy and I are happy !




Happy Birthday ! Longue vie à vectrex !

Cool, let me know if you want me to put the photo and/or the text into the Play Your Vectrex page, although with you signing up for an account I assume you'll be doing that later. Great pic either way

Nice strat too. How long you been playing?

[Mayhem]

Video is live!

(I can try adding it to the Vectrex Wiki page later on)

This year I had some time, so here's my contribution to the Official International Play Your Vectrex Day!

First, my Pac-man plush wanted to try the pac-man clone of the Vectrex (a.k.a Clean Sweep):



He showed some amazing skills (for a plush) and achieved a high-score of 20 510 in a few minutes:



After that, my Dustbuster wanted to pay a tribute to Clean Sweep by proving that he was a better player than the Pac-man plush, but he failed miserably in difficult mode:



My Robot Josef plush (from the point-and-click game "Machinarium") also wanted to play some Vectrex:



He chose "Berzerk", but I suspect him to be on the side of the robots, because he didn't look that sad when they got the human...



And that was all for my Vectrex day
