Two-Player Games?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.vectrex (More info?)

Hi All! This is my first post.

I just got my second controller for my Vectrex and I'm wondering what
games are out there that let two players play simultaneously
(competitive or cooperative both). I have Space Wars, which is great,
but some variety would be nice...any head-to-head homebrews? Any
original games I've overlooked?

Thanks,
Jacob

Hi Jacob,

Original GCE/MB releases aside from Space Wars-
Armor Attack
Blitz
Heads-Up
Rip-Off

The latest homebrew for 2-players is-
Nebula Commander

Check www.vectrexcarts.com for that one.

Yeah,
I'm still waiting too! Battle Zone used to be my favorite arcade game.

Vecsports Boxing is 2 player. I'm drawing a blank on others ...

Star Castle has a 2 player cooperative option (Player 2, Game 3).

this reminds me: whatever happened to Chris Tumber's "Zattle Bone"
wireframe tank game?

I just bought a copy, so now when it arrives I'll know exactly what
settings to use. Thanks!

Mine too! It seems like some of the key players have disappeared from
the Vectrex "economy" in the last year or so (shame I didn't get into
Vectrex earlier!) - CapitalSSoftware is just gone. Any idea what
happened with Chris Tumber and Sean Kelly? No time for toys anymore?

I think Chris had to change his priorities after a fire in his place and
just hasn't had the time. It must be a year since I last spoke to him
though so not exactly sure what his situation is at the moment.

John Dondzilla's Vectropolis 500 is a multi-player (four?!) game, part
of the Vectopia cart. However it isn't a finished game. I've never
played it two-player and since it doesn't have AI cars I can't really
say how playable it is.
Thought I'd mention it for completeness

Wasn't that going to require two vectrexes for multi-player?
Hopefully using the same link cable that Alex's maze game would use...

(Worrying about compatibility between to non-existant games!)
