xefned - yeah, its a title screen graphic. Hopefully it'll make the final cut - it uses a LOT of lines though so at the moment to display it I have to flicker it quite a lot on the Vectrex screen...Makes it look 'ghostly' I guess, hehehe.

It looks awesome! Flickering is OK with me. I got my vectorbolt magazine! How is it? Any info you didn't already know? George just put subscriptions back up on his page; I'm trying to guess if it's worth $45 for 4 issues. Opinions?

Issue 1 can be back ordered for 14 bucks. Issue 2 says that it shows you how to build your own controller. I wonder how detailed it will be. The joystick side has been a little confusing to me, even with Mark Shakers in front of me to use as a basis.
Some updates on his front page says that he has acquired more PCBs ANC I know that shells have arrived stateside, so I supposed shipments will resume again shortly. I'm waiting on Hellhole and The Vectrois but I hope that a standard version of Warrior becomes available though i think it maybe doubtful.

I'm waiting on Hellhole and The Vectrois I'm waiting on Vectorbolt. I just checked on my box/paid rent for it yesterday and it wasn't there. Granted, I know I was the last in line (cue Dio) for it but it seems like it should have shipped by now. I guess not though.

I´m waiting too for one of the last overdrive controllers offered, commissioned in mid-January; but I have no idea about the delivery time...

I remember that Georges said that once a year he freely makes the ROM of one of his games available. So if you're not too much in a hurry, you should be able to play Warrior on a VecMulti (or Vectrex burner/dumper )! I'm also waiting for Warrior, but since George updated is website yesterday, I think there's no need to worry (and I received my copy of WebWarp, so I have a "new" game to keep me busy already!).

No, the date on his site clearly stated Mar. 31, 2015, so you've got another 11 months to wait. J/K. Really your Warrior cartridge is not scheduled to arrive until you forget about it. And you have to legitimately forget about it, you can't just pretend to forget about it, because somehow, the cartridge just knows. It's like this...

Well I give up and am going to ask for my money back. To anyone who gets their game I hope it was worth the wait. Personally I own two of George's games and think they are terrible, I was hoping that third time would be the charm but I guess not.

I will happily take your spot aNinja, if that's even possible or acceptable.
Sorry it didn't work out, and I am in agreement, 37 months is bordering on unreasonable, but I figure it's mostly due to hold ups from his suppliers.
I'm sure George already has a waiting list, and maybe you do too. But on the odd chance this is possible, and you haven't already given your spot, can you tell George "Matthew Jenkins" in Indianapolis would like to take your reserved #. I'll be your Vectrex buddy for life, and send you a free light pen (home made repro) if you want it.
If not, that's OK, I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks, Matthew

I asked George to keep me in mind a long time ago but I doubt he'll let anyone jump in. It's far more lucrative to sell it on EBay than what he originally sold it for.

Oh, I'm sure he has some kind of limited edition planned for ebay and the like.
He also let me have an earlier version of 3D Sector X when someone didn't have the money. Granted, it wasn't REAL early, as I got the very last one, but instead of copy #120 (or however many were made) it was like 111 or something.
