    Default Vectrex game Star Sling

    I have been watching Vectrex games on ebay for the last two years and recently this STAR SLING game came up on ebay for Vectrex. I've been around with the Vectrex and looking at all sorts of stuff for years. I've been to the Geofury website and seen everthing that PC John/ Donzilla has to offer as well as everthing that was released for the Con in 2000. I have yet to ever hear or see this cart even on the various multi carts offered here and abroad. This game eludes me. Does anyone know anything at all about this game? Its on Ebay as 8810245437.

    If there is an enthusiast with deeper pockets out there than I have, and shows an interest in this game, would you tell us about it for the sake of the Vectrex gaming world?

    This same seller came up with a "game" called Logo a few weeks back and another person listed a second one the next week. The auction numbers are 8274126800 and 8280112774. The two buyers were satisfied with their purchases, so I can only believe that it IS legitiment. If anyone here purchased these games, will you enlighten me?

    Also, there are a number of games I know exist in the world that are not listed on this site. How do you start-up the upgrade of the list. I know of Birds of Prey, Space Frenzy, Verzerk, and a few others that aren't listed on this site.

    Star Sling has only just been released. There are only 25 limited edition versions (ones with box and overlay), and a few of these will be sold on eBay (presumably to cover various costs and time for making the game).

    The game will be available in unlimited format as well, so it's not going to be hard to get in general, just in this form.

    (the boxes are a pain in the arse to make says the author)

    Thanks for sowing me that website. It did say that they distributor would hold back four for sale on ebay, and obviously one for himself. This game looks too cool. I'm going to have to get one of the turbo editions.

    So anyone know anything about revising the Vectrex Rarity Guide to include these games, the ones that I named earlier and some of the other ones that this person said they would release.

    Also, are there any other websites that are out there that haven't been mentioned in the thread?

    Well let me think... there's a few Vectrex programmers going it this year especially. We've had a flood of titles already in 2006 with more to come still.

    Wow those are cool, I just don't have a dime to spare now days for games, I'll have to wait several months.

    Those truly have to be sent to the database.
    If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?

    Indeed there's some much homebrew activity on the Vectrex, there are more home programmed games now than were officially released!

    True, there was 28 in total (including Minestorm). Still, it does mean plenty of work for those people out there to write games, and have only the 2600 beat it in terms of homebrew writing.
