For those who know the homebrews fairly well, we know that Vec Fu has been out for a couple of years now, although various parts of it started out one way, then ended up being a bit different (in regards to a boss in the game, no two player option yet and the like). Well, somehow a cart of it was sold recently, and it's got Classic Game Creations's name on it! Really odd... mystery ebay linkPoll on Vectrex wiki that started it all (read comments at the bottom) Guess we'll have to wait and see what on earth the deal is, or maybe someone here knows what this is? |

Yeah... I heard about an auction for the game, but never saw a link to it on eBay. Curious...

My only guess is that John could have it available, but it isn't listed, like Verzerk supposedly was on vectrexcarts.com when Mark Shaker ran it. It does fit in with several of the cheaper carts being only $10, plus shipping.

Does John make carts of any ROM if people ask him?

Yes, as long as he has permission from a game's author to make them if they weren't his to begin with.

I just tried out a Vec Fu ROM the other day & it didn't seem to be fully playable. Are there incomplete versions out there?

Yeah, it's not a complete game yet. Looks promising though.

groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/rec.games.vectrex/7ye1T2YSxko Michael's Vec Fu release post I think all signs point to this being a John Dondzila 'Custom Game': www.classicgamecreations.com/custom.htmlI don't think Michael ever had a true cart release, so whoever sold this to Theawesomegamr wanted a physical copy of the game - and commissioned John to make a custom cart. EDIT: cannot get that first link to hyperlink?

Does John make carts of any ROM if people ask him? not of this game. when i bought the game he said that he had it specially made for him. and as far as i know, its the only one that exists. by the way, this game was not made by john, but what i think happened is that the maker of this game asked him to have it specially made for him. thats what im pretty sure happened. |

EDIT: whoops was thinking of Thrust (had a couple beers, heh) I still think John would make this for anyone who asked. It's not as if Michael has shown to be super possessive over his creation - even his release post states it's an older project he figured people would enjoy. Probably cost between $10-20 + shipping www.classicgamecreations.com/ordering.html |
