Ville Krumlinde has been working on a new Vectrex game called Thrust.
It is based on a Commodore 64 game of the same name. The game posted on
YakYak is a beta candidate for public release.
Thrust involves maneuvering your ship against gravity into a planet and
picking up a pod with your tractor beam. At that time the pod is like a
pendulum that you try to keep from swaying too much as you escape out of
the planet.
I have played Thomas Jentzsch's homebrew version of Thrust for the Atari
2600. Now there is a Vectrex version. Great fun!
