A while ago I had a friendly discussion, whether a game like Donkey Kong is possible on a Vectrex. (No, I don’t intend to build a Donkey Kong clone – my excercises here are purely accademic) The general question was,…
I haven’t done anything specifically related to Vectorblade for over a months now. I am thinking about stuff to “fill” it up a little more besides pure gameplay. Little stuff that will make a complete “round” package. You have seen…
A while ago I did a first blog entry on Strings – see: Print String. Today I like to add a few lines (both entries can also be found in the Vide help). If your Vectrex has only the slightest…
You know – I really like the stuff that Alex Herbert did. Above is the an image of the “credits” of his Protector/YASI release, a spinning disc with two scrolltexts. It looks stunning on a real vectrex. I always was…

As mentioned in my last post – “der Luchs” is (re-) programming his game “Menschenjagd”. We met at an event last month and came to talk to each other. One thing led to another and he asked my opinion about…
