International Play Your Vectrex Day (November 1)

[Crabmaster2000]

Not going to happen for me today Between being at the store until 8pm and then going to my night shift at 10:30pm I have zero minutes to dedicate to my poor Vectrex today. Next year.

Should've brought the Vectrex to work for everyone else to enjoy Play Your Vectrex Day! I wish I would've.

Yeah someone did that last year.  Hell, they could still upload the scores that they promised and I'd still take them!

Sorry to hear that crabmaster.

Boy it can be hard to get good pictures of a Vectrex. The Wife and I played Minestorm and Solar Quest. Only briefly, but we had fun!

I think we spent as much time trying to get pictures to turn out halfway decent as we did playing games. These were the best two

Cool.  Did you want me to:

1. Add your name to the list of participants on the wiki page?  And would it be this handle here, your real name or something else?
2. Add the pictures?
3. Any scores or links of yours (YouTube, Twitter, etc.) to add?

[nupoile]

1. You can put me down as nupoile. I am on the list from last year too if that matters.

2. Sure. Sorry they are blurry.

3. Ha! We didn't play long enough to get any good scores. I think last year you linked to my profile page, you can do that or just mention regeneration.


What did you play?

Yeah that was probably the one I did last year with your account linked to here (just being too lazy to look right now ).

2. Sure. Sorry they are blurry.

That's ok, one of mine didn't come out real well either.

3. Ha! We didn't play long enough to get any good scores.

That doesn't matter, as not everyone posts them anyhow.

What did you play?

Star Trek and Mine Storm, the latter of which was good in several ways, due to having one of the later edition U. S. Vectrexes with it that goes well past Mine Field 13.  I included a photo of the "Space Forces" present in that version (they float around like the regular "dumb Mines" but are spaceships actually...or something).  That led to quite a bit of talk on my gaming forums, as well as my planning on digging out the extra instruction sheet (just a page) on my version of the game so I can take a photo of it and put it up later (bumping up another old topic in regards to rare Vectrex paperwork).  So some of this ended up being educational for quite a few people!

So, you have Mine Storm II?

I played the one we have at work for a bit today.

[Vectorguy]

So, you have Mine Storm II?

No, just a later edition of Mine Storm.

Very funny Zagnorch!  I know of others who feel the same way But then, no one forced you to click on this thread...no face shoving here!

Nupoile, added your stuff to the page.

[Dergatron9000]

I've been wanting to buy a vectrex but I'm scared the monitor will shit the bed as soon as I buy it.

It's going again for November 1st!

The page will be updated soon (probably by Tuesday), although it has the same rules as the other two previous days: just supply your name and the game(s) you played on that day and that's it!  And this year it's on the weekend, so that's an added bonus.
