I've recently spoken with just about every publisher and most take at least a couple of days to get back to you. Some have taken sometime off for the 4th and are catching up on orders.

He also had a shortage of parts and all that held things up, as it took him like a month to get me Zantis and Sundance, which is the longest he's ever taken, he's only taken a couple of weeks tops over the years for me.

Nothing yet but I have a high number, so I know I have to wait.

Another month goes by and still nothing. Really curious as to exactly what the problem is here? This coming March it will have been 2 years since I've paid for my copy. I imagine it's been longer for some of you.
And no - I don't want a refund. I want the game.

Two years, really? Was the game finished then or was that a kickstarter kind of payment?

It was finished and a few people got their copies of the game. No, George has been doing this way before Kickstarter.

This might be a foolish question, but is Warrior still in production? Can anyone verify that copies are still being shipped out? Judging by the massive backlog of orders, something in Fury's personal or professional life may be prohibiting him from fulfilling the orders, or he has picked up a different project. He hasn't posted since February, and I don't know if anyone has received an update about Warrior since that e-mail in July.

Having received an early (#004) copy of Warrior and waiting for a second one I ordered later, I would suggest that this is one of those "It's sounds real easy until you try it" situations. Up until the point where George tried to do maybe too much at once (new controllers + new games including one with a box and overlay) I had always received Fury stuff as promised. Now, there's a delay. So what. Ya, two years is a bit much. But this is one guy doing this. Doing this well in terms of finished product (and limited edition versions on eBay that I've never been able to win). I ordered a subscription to his Vectorbolt magazine and I was informed that the Starblast controller I ordered was shipping soon. He is alive, he is responsive, I believe he's not in the mood to hear about how much he sucks (who would?) from people who want it all now. Again, two years is a long time, I agree. I waited longer than that for Zektor to come out with a new batch of their Zektor Vector Generator boards (and jumped on them when they did get offered again). Sh*t happens.
I don't know George, I have no reason to defend him when he f***s up. But this is one guy. I suggested at some point on the AtarAge boards that those guys (who are way larger than this group) should pool their resources together and create a sort of Atari APX for new homebrew games. Meaning AtariAge would be in charge of packaging and selling new homebrew carts with boxes and instructions. No response. I suggest the same here. Somebody is capable of getting the cart shells, the circuit boards, it wouldn't be too hard to have someone who knows how to make boxes do them with some community funding, get a sort of homebrew store/company going where different programmers would submit their games to be packaged and sold through this site. I think that would rock, it would take some of the stink off of having to do it yourself, something that might put off some people from wanting to try programming their own games. If there was a way to standardize this process, come up with some Vector Gaming-specific packaging, maybe not even have a limited number per game, just make more in batches once enough orders came in (after the first run was exhausted), Vector Gaming gets a cut of each game to fund the next offering, I think that would really do wonders for Vectrex homebrew efforts. Maybe I'm retarded and the financial realities wouldn't allow that to work. I'd pay good money for a boxed game like that.
The alternative is hoping this guy or that guy actually completes something and maybe he also offers a cart or (gasp!) a box and instructions and an overlay. You wait. You watch this guy or that guy fall off the planet because he has a family or he can't afford it anymore or he ended up in the hospital for some reason. It's exasperating hearing about someone struggling to come up with something that someone else has already figured out. I'm patient, though. Imagine if nobody cared about the Vectrex or it wasn't possible to make new games for it.

Indeed. George is still active, and I'm fine with waiting for my items as long as they get delivered down the line. My copy of Hexed arrived, the Sundance Matrix package came yesterday (along with a replacement chip as the one on the board may not have been the final build), and my Yeti controller is due soon I've been told. So George is very much working on things and delivering them. I imagine it's just taken a bit longer than he anticipated originally.
