I'm going to be releasing my first game for the Vectrex soon, it's called Big Blue... you may have seen it at Revival events lately or heard me mention it on here from time to time.

I just put the Facebook page live... standalone website to follow...

Congrats Chris, great work! It's not often you see a new physical release of a Vectrex game complete with overlay

Can I buy one at SmartMeet on Sunday?

This came out of the blue... I hope it's about an atari capacitor that fails... alright I'm done.

Looks cool man, unfortunately I don't have a vectrex yet.

Hey Vic,

You can have everything but the PCB and instructions if you want

I have the boxes, foam inserts, cart shells, cart labels, and overlays in hand.

Game is in final tweak/bug fixing and I'm hoping to get it to the PCB/EPROM burning man at the end of the week... getting there!

Hah, should have expected that joke on here I guess

Everyone needs at least one Vectrex in their life... but I recommend at least 4.

Oooh, I don't know that one... the game I thought the idea was closest to was Scuba Dive on the Speccy. The idea came from my son who was 8 at the time so I showed him Scuba Dive.
