CONTROLLERS !!! They're finally back ! Original Vectrex controllers are pretty darned hard to find, however I am selling converted game controllers that will work on the Vectrex system. Controller 1 : Sega Genesis Game Pad $20 This is a 6 Button controller modified to work on your Vectrex. It is compatible with all Vectrex games except for Hyperchase and game #2 of Star Hawk. Controller 2 : Naki Playstation Arcade Stick $30 (Available 5/15/02) This is a mini-arcade stick. It's about 7 inches wide by 5 inches deep. The stick is a full size arcade stick with real microswitches for true arcade feel. There are 2 rows of 4 buttons lined up in a row. The top and bottom rows are wired identically for your game playing convenience. Standard sticks are black and silver, however I do occasionally have colors as well. Send me an E-Mail to check my current color availability. Controller pictures are available on my web page ! "Gravitrex PLUS" 2002 celebrates the 20th birthday of the Vectrex with the incredible Gravitrex Plus, my 7th Vectrex game ! Gravitrex Travel to alien worlds, engage the enemy forces and rescue the human captives. Destroy the enemy weaponry, reactors and planets ! My biggest Vectrex game yet, featuring 3 levels, with 6 planets each, most planets have multiple sections. Patriots 3 - "Ballistic Busters" Yet another Patriots re-write, but everything here is all NEW, with unlimited Patriots and movement and action the way I had originally envisioned the game ! P3 Now includes an analog control mode ! ??? A secret, hidden game ... can you find it ? It's small but very addicting ! Gravitrex Plus features remappable control buttons, a password level select and a few other cool surprises ! "Vectopia" The world's 2nd 64K Vectrex cart, featuring 2 all NEW games and many more goodies ! Wormhole Keeping with my love of vintage arcade games, this is my fastest, most intense Vectrex game ever. The biggest feature of this game is the overall intensity with almost no Vectrex screen flicker. In addition, this semi-3D shooter features a unique control method not found in any other Vectrex game ! Trakkers Truly my most difficult Vectrex game, only steady nerves and fast thinking will keep you alive and defeat the Trakkers before they track you down ! Vectropolis 500 Playable Demo 4 Players can race against each other in 9 different tracks ! While fully playable, there is no computer control. I didn't like the blocky look of the tracks and lost interest in this project. Spike's Water Balloons - Analog Version This is a remix of SWB which now lets players use the analog version of their joysticks (will not work on modified Genesis pads !) or the various "paddle" style controllers. Controller Test A little bit on the simple side, but lets you visually check the functionality of your controllers in both controller ports. Other Demos - Far From Complete ! Star Fire Level 1 - Fully playable but quite different from the officially released version. Star Fire Level 2 - Very, very early draft Mad Planetoids - Early draft, more of a test sketch. Star Fury - Ditto "Vecmania" The first 64K Vectrex cartridge ever, featuring 3 new games, 3 re-mixed games and 2 playable demos. Star Fire Spirits Based on my favorite classic 3D space shooter, shoot through 3 levels of space ships, skim the surface of an alien planet, dive into chasms and try to bomb its central core ! Repulse Try to destroy the enemy fortress ! Avoid sentry ships ! Laser fire rebounds ships off of walls ! Take to long and the mothership will emerge and try to destroy you herself ! Birds of Prey What Vectrex multigame would be complete without a fantastic vertical shooter ! 5 levels of intense space shooting action plus a giant mothership at the end. Rockaroids Remix: 3rd Rock Rockaroids Remix was a limited release a couple of years ago, it's now update with flashier graphics and more intense space shooting action ! Patriots Remix The all time best Vectrex game gets a facelift with faster graphics routines and new multi-channel sound effects ! Vector Vaders Remix The first new Vectrex game in 12 years gets a faceleft with faster graphics routines and new multi-channel sound effects ! Abyss Playable Demo A one level creation which I decided not to continue. Looks a bit like a popular arcade shoot down the pit at aliens game. Disc Duel Demo Two player playable demo of a 3D game which I carelessly destroyed the documented source code for. Vecmania is custom programmed with the games serial number and the buyer's name which is displayed during the Vecmania title screen. The cartridge is signed by the author and features a special semi-hidden easter egg which will not be released anywhere else. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Spike Hoppin'" Spike Hoppin' is a Q*Bert style game, with Spike returning in his third Vectrex game along with his arch nemesis - Spud. What does Spike Hoppin' have that makes it so good ? For starters, NO FLICKER. Even the most intense parts of the game look fantastic. Even better, Spike Hoppin' features digitized speech ! Spike Hoppin' has 15 levels (it will actually play forever if you're that good, but the skill stops getting harder after 15). Spike Hoppin' has a few hidden goodies, including a new hidden game and something which I'll only describe as "The Voyager Fly-by". ------------------------------------------------------------ "All Good Things" This is the third new creation for the Vectrex. It's the world's first 16K Vectrex game ever released and it's packed with some very "Good Things". There are four complete games in one cart, plus a secret bonus game hidden somewhere for you to find. The games included are: (1) Rockaroids - "Asteroids" clone Some heavy revisions were done and this is will most likely be your favorite ! (2) More Invaders - "Space Invaders Deluxe" clone It had to be done. The way I wanted Vector Vaders to originally look. More invaders, speed and action! (3) Vectris - "Tetris" clone Another had to be done. A bit flickery, but now just about every system has one. (4) Spike's Water Balloons - "Kaboom/Mad Bomber" clone This might even be a bigger favorite than Rockaroids ! (5) ??? Secret Puzzle Game What can it be ? How do you find it ? This time I'm not telling a soul ! ------------------------------------------------------------ "Patriots" My second game for the Vectrex. The code is completely optimized and far superior to the previous game. Screen flicker is nearly non-existent and only shows up during the more intense parts of the game. The game is fast, with lots of action, explosions and sound effects. I have received many compliments for this title and many quotes of it being "the best Vectrex game ever...". Again, this is a "Missile Command" style game. You protect six cities with your 2 Patriot missile launchers. You move a targeting crosshair with the joystick and fire Patriots at incoming enemy missiles. Enemy saucers and planes come along and release more missiles, as well as smart missiles which can evade your Patriots. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Vector Vaders" Your typical "Invaders" type game, where the invaders start at the top of the screen and march left and right. At the screen bottom is your base, which you move left and right and shoot lasers at the invaders. You have 4 bunkers to hide behind. The mystery point saucer is there, as well as all the standard point scoring. The bulk code of the game was written in 4 days, approximately 14 hours straight each day. The remainder of the code and testing was done in another 6 days (about 4 hours per day). As being a new Vectrex programmer, a lot of the code is unoptimized. Also, due to hardware restrictions of the Vectrex (drawing too many vectors at once), the game suffers from some minor slowdown and screen flicker. All of my games are FREE for private use. You can download the binary images from my web page to use on the DOS Vectrex Emulator, or if you have the resources, burn your own EPROM to make a Vectrex cartridge. If you own a Vectrex and would like to obtain a cartridge for use on your system, you can purchase a cartridge from the me. Each game is twenty ($20.00) dollars US currency. The cost of each game covers mostly expenses, including parts (EPROM, cart case, mailer pack, etc). It's well worth it if you have a Vectrex, your cart comes with instructions, a sturdy plastic carrying box and a full color box insert Quantity discounts on multiple titles - ask for more info.
