I received my game a few days ago!? So for those still waiting dont give up hope. George did not send an e-mail in advance it just showed up out of the blue. The box and overlay are top notch quality, the cart it's self is a joke and seems to be molded out of dried play-do. And the game wow. It's hard to put into words how bad it is. So if you're still waiting just think any day now George will surprise you with this long overdue turd.

And yes, no movement on Hellhole yet, but we'll get them eventually, and the included controller. The website says shipping from the end of this month. Ditto the Yeti. Received my Overdrive controller in the last couple of weeks... works great with Hyperchase. Awaiting Hellhole and a Yeti too. cNp

My Warrior arrived 2 weeks ago, and it also was one number less than I originally had. Someone / something shifted the numbering. I like how the number is burned in the rom's title screen. I have a love/hate about many aspects of this game.
I believe the carts were molded from some sort of cast, probably similar to D. Scott Williamson's Translucent 2600 Star Castle (the 8K Kickstarter one). It doesn't look like any 3D printout I have seen yet. But that's just my guess. He could have hit the edges quickly with a file, mine are sharp and it was difficult to plug it into my Vectrex.

Good video. I had no recollection of the original game... until you (?) refer to the fact that the warriors got smaller as they travelled down the staircase. Bang! I was back in 1979! I either played it or stood over somebody's shoulder and watched it!
As far as George's stab at recreating it goes I would say the 3D/up and down the staircase element is crucial to the enjoyment... I don't see a tremendous amount of replay value on the remake.

According to his website (1/10/2016).... all warriors should be shipped right?
Ps... did he release a free game for Christmas in 2015?

^Sometimes that comes early in the new year.
Now he's saying Tailgunner this year (again), along with something called Galaxious.

According to his website (1/10/2016).... all warriors should be shipped right? ... On Fury Unlimited Website it says: "DISTRIBUTION EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN JANUARY". So shipping is still ongoing. For example my copy of Warrior is still pending.

It's amazing that after all this time these carts are still being shipped to the pre-orders. You all have amazing patience!
Warrior does have the best box of any vectrex cart. For the pricetag I can just look at the ebay images and wish someday for a reprint of this.
