International Play Your Vectrex Day (Nov. 1)

[50tbrd]

Played some games for Vector War Starhawk, Hyperchase, Hex, Soccer, Armor Attack and Spike.

^Nice for you to appear!

Ok, my pics are up; scroll down to the Gallery for them.

This is pretty much the same for when I bumped up the old Vectrexians thread on here months ago with pics of the message that appears on level 20, along with some of the ending animation stuff that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else on the net. (Don't know why one photo is appearing sideways though, it was right side up when I took and uploaded it.  Whatever, Fandom.)

Like I said, I was pretty lucky here, as I hadn't played in a while, started a game and died on level 1 I restarted and didn't die until level 5, then made it to the end.

I also added 50tbrd's list and have others to address. I still have notes from the previous two years of games, participants and all that I need to put up, as that page is a mess right now. I never forgot or anything!

Ok, on the Vector Wars thread I've got a "Happy play your vectrex day!" from

Do you two want to be added to the IPYVD entry on the wiki page? I've got your games down so I can add those (along with Moyu).

I only just realized the IPYVD has been going on for 10 years now. Hard to believe.

[VectorX]

Geez, I'd been thinking of this Day this month, but did I post on here that it was coming up? No! My mind's been all over the place though I guess.

But yes, the Day's Wednesday. I haven't seen it too often but I never liked it when people complained on forums that posting has been down over the previous few months, quarter or whatever, but YES, let's at least have more participants than last year's, as there were only three people that did.

[50tbrd]

I've been making preparations. I actually have a stack of games that I really haven't even tried yet like Vyrzon and Sea Pup.

[Peer]

I will also play tomorrow. And for a change some games that are not played in the currently ongoing Vector War.

[hcmffm]

Tony, Peer, and me,
that makes on IPYVD three.
Need at least one more,
to quell Darryl's uproar.

Folks, on 1st November, play any Vectrex game and post a short note about it, here, to express your dedication to the Vectrex. Easy-peasy? Right!

See initial post for more details.

First

Played some good old Mine Storm. The original GCE version. Until I was kicked out by the level 13 bug.

[hcmffm]

Second (Germany has UTC+1 and thus some advantage).

Played Count Vecula and failed poorly in Room 1. Tonight, I will play some more games for Vector War and will update this post.

EDIT: Played Count Vecula and made it to room 14. I didn't find the time to play other games.

[Peer]

And now I played some Spinball. Not for Vector War, but in Vide to check some things related to the Print_Str() issue. Hope that counts for IPYVD. I will definitely play some more games later.

[Mayhem]

Well for once I'm actually free and available tonight, so I may try to fire up the Vectrex and see what takes my fancy!

[mozie]

Since my wrist is still sore from yesterday's session today iam playing mostly happy Bird and maybe some wet cat later.. Happy international vectrex day all

[8-Bit Waves]

I played Wet Cat and thought about how well done it is. A very nice game. I really like that tune.

I played the Hera Primera demo and started thinking about the planned physical release. Will it be different?

Finally, I played Vectrexagon hoping to beat my high score and was unable to.

Have a happy International Play Your Vectrex Day!

^Let me know if you want me to input the games you played onto the wiki page or if you want to do it yourself. I still have others' games to list from previous years too. (This also goes for anyone else on here that wants me to do this; usually gliptitude has me do his, for instance.)

Well, surprisingly I accidentally made my Day into a theme. Nice happy accident I might play more later too.
