International Play Your Vectrex Day (November 1)

[singlebanana]

On the front page.

^Thanks!

Post tomorrow too!

Um, ok...

Some interesting stuff so far already, being a couple of videos.  One guy also REALLY has a killer Vector Pilot station going on, having the wraps, overlay *and* a flight controller in his setup!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Sorry, been focused on writing up a level design for my college class. I'm going to try to break it out before the end of the night. Still have 3 hours!

[Vectorguy]

Yeah, probably 90% of the page is added to within the first 48 hours of the event, not counting when I do a final wrap-up with game play totals, trivia and all.

It's still the 1st where I am!

Keep in mind, I am going for pictures rather than high scores   

[Vectorguy]

High scores aren't mandatory anyway, just as long as something was played

Going to wait until I hear back from a couple of other people before putting up those pics and your name entry.

Did you get to play anything?  If you did, let me know, as I'm about to add some last few things.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

No, unfortunately. Turned in the final project with minutes to spare.

[Vectorguy]

As it says on the front page news, this date is November 1st!  Also, it was just discovered in the last year sometime that the Vectrex library hit 100 unique individual cartridge releases (finally, after over 30 years!).  So if people could make this Day a special one that would be great!

[Vectorguy]

Tuesday!  Get your Vectrexes ready!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Tuesday?! I'll pull it out and power it on this weekend.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Well, we got a new TV shelf, and I had room to put my Vectrex on it. Tested the TV, and then pulled it off the shelf in my room. Turns out the cats got to it some time in the past 6 months, and we're cleaning off cat urine from the overlay I had on it, as well as the plastic and the shelf. Can't wait until I fix the lock on the game room doors...

We'll try to get some pictures after it's cleaned up, but not sure if we'll get it in the next 25 minutes or so.

So little time to do anything extra today. Just did some quick Minestorm to qualify. Seriously though, getting good pictures of gameplay is tough.

I was like, that doesn't look like my arm in the refection.....and I don't wear a watch....uhhhh.....oh yeah, I didn't take the picture  

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I'm incredibly surprised my cats didn't try to attack anything on the screen. Then again, after powering up the TV and having one get static shocked, they wanted nothing to do with it after jumping all over the TV the past 3 days.

EDIT: I just noticed, your Vectrex has a smaller knob to power it on where mine has a larger one. Is it just missing the button cap?

Is it just missing the button cap?

Yeah, I think that's it. I have re-noticed that myself occasionally throughout the years but forget about it right away. My came to me with no cap so I'm just used to it.

Maybe I should try and make one on that lathe I made the spinning top on......hmmmm
