Sure seems like the Vectrex is getting a lot of homebrew love lately...
I've got the new V-Hockey and the new Debris Revisited coming in the mail soon, There is also a new version of color clash (color clash slim,) which I am debating

as well as all the new geo-fury stuff (which I have ordered or pre-ordered all of them, though I have lost track a bit of what is what :) Sectis came with a nice t-shirt :) )

I am nearing a complete collection of Vectrex titles, I still need stuff like Polar Rescue and the 3D games, but that will come in time. Vectrex is turning out to be one of my favorite systems ever, so thanks for opening me up to some homebrew stuff, some of these games look FANTASTIC! Especially Debris...I am going to inquire about pre-ordering the "revisited" one.
I so would have bought color clash with the overlay, not sure if the new version without the overlay is worth it? cosidering the game is "color" clash I would imagine it would lose some of its appeal.
I am interested in ordering a lot of those fury games as well, thry seem pretty cool. How is the ordering process overall? everything is handled in emails?
There was also a repro of Dark Caslte on ebay not long ago (with a few available) if anybody knows where I can order one of these (it has not been relisted yet) please let me know. Thanks for posting!

Vector Pilot (based upon Time Pilot) is nearing completion, from the same guy that did Vectrexians. Sometimes these things take time... and bug hunting. But the game is a stonker... and if you love Time Pilot, you'll love this even more.

if you can find a Kelly Multi-Cart for a reasonable price, it has a bunch of homebrew games on the cart.
Not all of them but I think it has about 25 unreleased/homebrew games on it. So it is well worth the price of admission.

There is another new game from revival studios out, called shifted:
see http://www.revival-studios.com/?page=123 for more info.
Not as much action as debris revisited, but highly addictive!
