A simple screensaver type application for your Vectrex. Draws patterns on the screen, to the sound of sci-fi bleeps and bloops.

‘Quick Shot’ is a simple skill test application. Press a button as many times as you can within 10 seconds. Test your skill and compare times with your friends. No cheating 😉

Just for fun, I made a quick version of the Cantina band music from Star Wars. Download link below the video.

As a Christmas gift to you all and for the benefit of anyone still waiting on their cartridge arriving, I have made available a ROM download for use on your Vectrex flash-cartridges or emulators such as ParaJVE.
Xmas Cart 2015 contains two games :
In “Parcel Panic” you play as one of Santa Claus’ helpers, using your grabbing arm to pick presents off the assembly line conveyor belts. Santa Claus doesn’t tolerate mistakes so be careful!
“Space Tree X” : The further adventures of the tree that saved Christmas! A fun shoot-em up in the mold of Atari’s Asteroids.
Enjoy the games!
A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.

Doodle is a simple vector drawing application.
Use an analogue joystick in port 1 (or Lightpen in port 2 for the Lightpen version).
Joystick/Lightpen : Move cursor
Button 1 : Clear screen and reset to center
Button 2 : Hide/Show cursor
Button 3 : Draw to selected point
Button 4 : Move to selected point
Doodle will beep if the line you are trying to draw is too long or if you have ran out of lines (maximum of 255 lines).
Happy doodling!

Just a little sound toy I made a while back. It makes a rough emulation of a the theremin (musical instrument) using the Vectrex sound chip and may be controlled by one or two analogue joysticks.
Screenshot :
Use analogue joystick(s) to control the V-Theremin.
Button 1 = Toggles Mute
Button 2 = Toggles between 1 and 2 analog sticks for control.
Button 4 (on either stick) allows you to crudely play melodies without moving up and down to control volume.
When using 1 joystick :
Joy 1 Y Axis = Volume
Joy 1 X Axis = Pitch
When using 2 joysticks :
Joy 1 Y Axis = Volume Joy 2 X Axis = Pitch

“Xmas Cart 2014″ (FREE VERSION) contains two festive-themed games.

“Stocking Filler” is a game reminiscent of ‘Kaboom’ by Activision. The player must fill their stocking with all the falling presents while avoiding falling bombs.
“Save The Trees” is a fast paced shoot-em-up game of survival where the player must dodge or shoot falling presents and snowmen while ensuring to destroy every bomb that falls before it reaches the bottom of the screen and ruins Christmas!
Merry Xmas and a happy new year 🙂
