Hi,

This question was inspired by the recent posts regarding Protector,
Vecaves and Cube Quest, the last of which I'd never even heard of until
a week or so ago...

What limited edition games have their been released for the Vectrex?

By this I don't mean prototypes or other "rare" items, just games that a
known small number have been produced of.

The ones I know of are:

Protector
Vecaves
War of the Robots
I, Cyborg
Omega Race
Cube Quest (although this is perhaps a bit different?)

Are there any others?

Regards
Roberto/.

Off the top of my head there was a boxing game.. VecBoxing, by Manu I think.
Not sure if it was limited in general but there were only a limited number
made with the overlay IIRC.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think some of John Donzilla's games were limited
edition
releases.

I must admit I haven't heard of this before. Maybe though it passed me by...

Thanks. I didn't know of that one but a quick bit of googling does
indeed show that there were 12 or 13 made with an overlay. The overlay
looks pretty cool actually!

So that makes 7 that I know of now.

Manu made 13 Limited Edition VSB with both a reproduction vec box and
overlay. Each cart is indiviually programmed to display the owners
name as well. The regular GDG edition has a VCR case style box and no
overlay.

Omega CHASE you mean and there was a regular edition after the initial
edition ... as there was of Protector/YASI (instead of /Spike Goes Down)

I can't think of any others.

Ah, yes, thanks for the correction.
I did know about the regular edition, as indeed there is/was for Protector.

....which is information in itself.

Thanks
