Becky's Message

[jasonbar]

Weird, Could've sworn I posted this yesterday, but I don't see it. I'll try again.

I never heard of Becky's Message until it showed up on eBay:

www.ebay.com/itm/Beckys-Message-Vectrex-Arcade-Game-In-Cart-Form-/151223327350?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=3XW50O3Ye5NnWyWRM6GkcUQGKiU%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc


A quick search showed that it seemed to be a readily downloadable ROM, so I didn't pursue it. Later on, I looked a little more closely & saw that I don't see the ROM available:

vectrex.wikia.com/wiki/Becky%27s_Message

www.atarihq.com/vectrex/

groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.games.vectrex/tFUtXWcnTeA


Does anybody have this & can they share, assuming that's kosher? What I read shows that it used to be freeware.


Thanks,
-Jason

I imagine Dondzila made it for someone.

Yeah, I don't know what happened with Dan's site, but he's on here frequently and maybe he'll let us on in regarding to what's up with his site so it can be played again.

Unique but its a little on the expensive side. John made custom carts for 15 bucks plus shipping.

Yes Jason,  I have it but don't know howto make it available on the site . EEK Help Darryl !

Dan is "constructing a new web page and let the old one expire".

I'm working on a new website but progress is slow.
Life and work keep getting in the way (not necessarily in that order).
I'll try to make the binaries available soon.
I had some trouble with the company that was hosting my aging web site.

That's too bad, but at least your stuff will come back.

By the way for those who didn't know Koko who shows up at the end of Becky's message was my dog who pretty much stayed by my side while I was learning how to program the Vectrex.
While this is not officially my new website I do have a page dedicated to him in the interim.

Aw, poor Koko Sorry to hear about that.

Sounds familiar, as it also took me nearly a year to get over our previous cat's passing.

[jasonbar]

Thanks for the "new" ROMS!

Apparently, there was a VecFu cart too.

Koko's retribution is cool, some nice mechanics in there... the Donkey Kong clone seems impossible to make it over a barrel! Needs more flight time!

You just need to time your jumps differently; I forget what the deal is. It IS tough but not impossible.
