I like that there is even the option to choose between digital and analog controls. :-)

Thats great, thank!
Does your Vectrex work, or is it still broken?

You are welcome My Vectrex is still broken at the moment but should be getting looked at tomorrow. |

Too bad, I hope the best!
If you need someone for testing as long as you ain't got a vectrex, pm me ;-)

Hi, I knocked up a quick PONG as I have always wondered why there wasn't a version for the system... Enjoy! Well there is V-Pong, but that's only one player of course. I tried it on the emulator and it's very nice and complete (nice bit of music) - though the digital input seems too slow? Also the title screen seems larger than the surround in Parajve which might indicate its offscreen a little on the real device? |

Hi mikie, yeah i have played v-pong before but it's pong in name only...
I should have mentioned, in digital modes, there are 2 speeds. Hold button 4 down for top speed. In 2 players on 1 stick mode, button 1 is high speed for player 1, Buttons 2 and 3 are left/right for p2 and b4 is high speed.
My Vectrex is dead atm, but i'm sure the title screen displays fine on the real hardware. Parajves emulation is not 100% accurate ( though very good).

Ah I see  Another alternative for digital might be to accelerate the player the longer they press (but then again if analogue works well on the real hardware digital might not be worth much effort). I've not played it on the real hardware yet but I'm guessing analogue works well, my first console was a TV multiple game ... this one infact  An the controls being analogue meant you could do some super fast moves and made it more fun for sure. |

It works as well as your old dusty Vectrex Controller joystick potentiometer works.
Or in the case of on of the new NOS controllers I have, quite well.
I think I will have to dig out the Vectrex Controller to USB adapter and see if I can get that going again. Interesting to try it for the new game.

Finally played this on a real machine today after my Vectrex was fixed. Hmmmm way too slow/boring, it was a good bit faster emulated. I will update soon with a few tweaks/fixes.
