TrekMD, let me know what pics you want to include, or if all of them, or whatever. Also if you have any personal links (Google+) to add. Feel free to use all my pictures. Also here is the address to my G+ profile: plus.google.com/107727417793046863603. I still don't have a "vanity" address, so it will have to be with that jumble of numbers. |

Thanks, I'll get to that sometime today. Another person posted pics and list of games on another forum. Think that makes 16 participants now  Have some more stats to add (Mine Storm still THE most popular game with over half a dozen people playing it [IIRC], with War of the Worlds being the most popular homebrew [three people]), along with Canada to add to the list of residences (is Helmut in Germany?). This site also had over 100 guests yesterday for probably the same reason too...we usually don't get that many! EDIT: I hadn't gone back a previous page to see George's and Helmut's posts, so I'll be adding that stuff later today then as well. |

Nice pics Trek! You have a bunch of games!! For being a good Vectrex fan and for playing to death on the International Vectrex Day, our VecGod has blessed me with a complete copy of Star Castle in awesome condition for 26,50€ shipping included!  The same guy has a brand new CGE Vectrex (pending to confirm if it's 100% new) also and I will probably buy it along with a new Fortress of Narzod. That's if I can sell a Neo Geo CDZ and some other console/games before he sell it... The Vectrex is complete but the box has some shelf wear, the console itself looks superb without a mark... Finding this things in Spain is almost unbelievable! Wish me luck!! |

Thanks Trek, If you remember, I told you I missed the recent 2600 port of Star Castle with that cool clear cart. After not realising that it was going to be a PAL version, I stopped watching the kickstarter web so I couldn't even buy the rom... I was really sad for that, in fact I'm actually sad for it because it seems that I won't be able to play that version of the game ever.. so having this title for the Vectrex is very nice for me. But anyway, as you are much more connected in the 2600 scene as me, if you ever see a Star Castle 2600 on sale please let me know, I'm very interested if they don't ask an eye for it. |

I'll keep my eye out. There should still be another version coming of it that has nothing to do with Kickstarter. |

I will check that other Star Castle you say when finished, I must say that it looks great. But anyway it would be nice to have both to compare, it's a shame that Scott Williamson won't do another batch ever. |

There are test bin files for the non-Kickstarter version if you want to test it out. |

Those have been already tested!  @vectorx: So next year will be the second International Play You Vectrex day on November 1st, I suppose! It would be nice to consolidate that day, mostly because it's a national holyday here in Spain! |

So next year will be the second International Play You Vectrex day on November 1st, I suppose! Hopefully. I'll be making my video for it in the next couple of days  (NOW the iPad's in town so I can finally make a proper announcement video!) It would be nice to consolidate that day, mostly because it's a national holyday here in Spain! I'll have to talk to my sister about that for her memories on that when she lived there, see what she has to offer for it. |

Ok, I think I have everything now, or at least until some more stuff trickles in. I'd say the majority of stuff is done, although as they say, a wiki page is never truly "finished". More pics were added, as well as links and other stuff (totals of most popular games played and all). I ended up numbering the entries, thinking that'd look better and more impressive. 17 people participated in all I think this got a few more members onto these forums too. Still over 100 guests a day on here right now as well. The page has been edited a whopping 30 times in just a little over 36 hours! A few pictures I had to caption as to being from Cparsonsuk. I THINK that's correct; if he sees this, let me know if that's wrong (the one with his kid he originally had labeled as "my son", which makes no sense when anyone can edit it, so I changed those so we'll know who they belonged to if I was right). vectrex.wikia.com/wiki/International_Play_Your_Vectrex_Day |
