International Play Your Vectrex Day (November 1)

[nupoile]

Thanks, want me to just identify you as nupoile?

Yes

Do you want me to put up those pictures in the gallery of the wiki page?

If you want to

  Any personal websites you want to promote in the links section?

rfgeneration is fine it you can promote that somehow. Not exactly a personal site though, so its up to you.

I can put a link to your user page here.

I'm waiting to hear back from someone else on my vector forums, then I'll update the page with both of y'alls information then (probably tomorrow)

Damn...I got home really late last night, so I didn't get a chance to play mine (11:45pm). I'll make up for it tonight.

[Vectorguy]

I think some people made it up for you It's nuts, several people played a bunch of games each!  Others like myself only played one.

I happened to sneak in a little Pole Position for a few minutes after getting the kids down last night.

[Vectorguy]

So do you want to be added to the page as singlebanana?

[singlebanana]

Yeah, that's fine.

See if I got everyone's info and pics are on the page:

It's been a pretty hectic last 36 hours or so!  The page has been edited over 30 times.  My vector gaming forums have had over 100 guests in the last two days (it usually only gets a third that many, maybe a little less than half [40] at most), new members and several new members to the wiki.  Hopefully that'll follow with either some new game pages (common games such as Hyperchase, Space Wars and Armor Attack still don't have entries to them) or at least some Vectrex stories added (which are quite easy to do, just tell your story!).  17 participants came from over half a dozen countries that I know of, along with two videos being made, Mine Storm was the most popular original-released game (five players), and War of the Worlds, Vector Pilot and Vectrexians were the most popular modern day homebrews (three each).

Quite a Day!

Here we go again!  Same Vec time, same Vec channel!

Rules and regulations can be seen here:

http://vectrex.wikia.com/...nal_Play_Your_Vectrex_Day

In short, you just need to play your Vectrex and supply your name, and that's it!  There's more to it than that in regards to some bonuses, but that's putting it as simply as possible.

Hope to see several of y'all here on November 1st!

If I can get my controller fixed up I can actually take part this year!!!!

[Vectorguy]

We'd definitely welcome you!

[Tynstar]

Since I just got a Vectrex again I will have to do this. If I remember...

If you play post your scores here

(bump) The Day is next Friday!

And in regards to a couple of issues:

If I can get my controller fixed up I can actually take part this year!!!!

Actually, for anyone who can't play (someone else couldn't last year, as they had a Vectrex, but not a controller) can still participate!  Because I saw a post elsewhere where someone asked if it was ok to play on an emulator.  I figured at first that that wouldn't work, since it's Play Your VECTREX Day (not a fake one), but then, there is an Honorable mentions section, so I figured that if anyone played on an emulator or the Vectrex Regeneration app they can go in that section.  Their numbers won't count towards the "official" ones for people who actually played but they can still be recognized though

[Vectorguy]

Anyone participating today?  So far there have already been 10 people that did, along with some nice surprises, such as two people posting pics that were date-oriented, one of which held up a calendar page and the other was a handmade screen using the Light Pen!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I won't be able to until tonight, so I'll try.
