“It’s time for me to post a little cheat code for Wireout-re:-During the speed class selection screen, hold #4 while pressing #1 or #2. This will unlock the Infinite Missiles!There is also a game hidden on the rom called “Judge Dredd Lawmaster”, but I don’t know if anyone has found it yet. Judge Dredd is the reward for finishing the game in “Rapier” mode and with the right handling tip, it can be started when the cartridge starts. Anyway, have fun!!!”

Vexpawn

status: released
author: Kokovec
year: 2022
type: demo – self learning
download: yes
source code: yes
hardware release: no
homepage: https://github.com/Kokovec/Vexpawn
info:
Vexpawn is based around chess rules but is played only with pawns on a 3×3 board. It’s human versus Vectrex and the player always starts first. A winner is declared if they reach the opponent’s side first, or gobble up all of opponent’s pawns. At first the Vectrex will be quite dumb in determining counter moves. However, over time the Vectrex ‘learns’ and endeavors to make better moves. Eventually the Vectrex cannot be beaten (in theory anyway). The intro screen gives the player two choices: (1) Fresh Start (2) Keep Learning.
