is a shoot-em-up type of game with similarities to the arcade classic galaga . however, malbans game though still in alpha state is so much more. the vectrex is pushed to it limits with up to 20 (non flickering) enemies on screen, each level with different enemy attack patterns and additional boss levels giving a total of 32 levels. its not just about quick reactions. there is some strategy involved too as you can accumulate money when shooting at the enemies to shop for different weapons inbetween boss levels. under the hood , the game complexity and the provided 32 levels mean that the game alpha release requires a 64kb rom. the binary will work on a vecfever, mateos device or a clockwork pb6 64kb bankswitch (using a 64kb eprom). it definitely doesn't work with vecflash or vecmulti however. for the final physical release, malban is working on a 96 kb rom cartridge so he can fit in more levels and boss routines. cant wait!!! got to level seven so far on the alpha release. saturday 23rd june - revival studios releases new game and new packaging format for existing games lineup after a lengthy hiatus from making new games for the vectrex arcade system, (they were busy making games for other consoles and home computers) revival studios is back for the vectrex! they have released a new game for the vectrex, called rush hour. this game is described as an entertaining logic puzzle game that provides an interesting distraction for sharp minds. the storyline is as follows. when returning from a retro gaming event, you try to collect your car from the parking lot. only to discover that you are not the only one there! in order to get your vehicle out, you need to undertake 16 levels of interesting puzzles, moving all the cars in the right order to get to yours. the usual revival studios internet high score uploading feature is provided including an online rewards system as well as support for vecvox. for more information about the game visit revival studios . in addition, revival studios has relaunched their existing game lineup. the new line of vectrex games feature redesigned and a more unified packaging look (now in universal game cases rather than the previous vhs cases) with artwork to better resemble the classic vectrex game covers. some of revival studios previous demos are also now available free for download . saturday 16th june - vectrex name post note i had some feedback from chris romero via facebook about my previous post. he mentioned that for the record there was also some luggage named vectrex in the 70s and conjectured that this could have fed into tom slopers thoughts when he was trying to come up with a name. but more interestingly he informed that in the 70s there was a los angeles prop house with the name vectrex and this was probably the reason why the label vectrex was on that scope. chris guessed that the film editors probably didn't think it was out of place to have the unusual name vectrex on something so technical. with regards to the name vectrex coined by tom sloper for our beloved console, chris surmised that being near to the music industry in the los angeles area it wouldn't have been unusual for anyone in smith engineering or general consumer electronics to have previously heard of the name vectrex. wednesday 13th june - vectrex name origin? now the following is of interest to the vectrex geek! it is known that the vectrex was originally named the "mini arcade". however, the marketing people at the time wanted something a bit catchier. it has been reported by tom sloper (80's game designer for spike and bedlam) that in a brainstorming session he came up with the name vector-x, which after a few more brainstorms contracted to the name "vectrex". in 1979 the film "escape from alcatraz" was showing in the cinemas. theres a scene in the film featuring clint eastwood showing him walking through a metal detector. a tektronix t932 oscilloscope positioned on a table to the side of the walk through metal detector showed a graphic signal on its display representing if metal had been detected. the tektronix t932 is no stranger to public shows having already appeared in several films and tv programmes. the website vintagetek (a museum of vintagetektronix equipment) for which i have "borrowed" selected film stills for this post, gives many examples of the various appearances made by the tektronix t932 oscilloscope. however, what is interesting here (if not a little spooky) is that in the film the oscilloscope logo had been replaced with a sticker that appears to show the text "vectrex". this was in 1979! all the history for the vectrex indicates its birth was from late 1980. so could the film have (subconsciously) inspired the name vectrex in tom slopers brainstorming session for
