Play Expo Glasgow, this weekend. Chris Binarystar, Laurence Bennion and myself will be presenting an extensive Vectrex exhibit. Come and say Hi if you can.

Been furiously trying to tick off as many things as poss from the todo list lately. Lots done, next is a biggie - enemy bullet system needs rebuilding from scratch. Quite a few fun things done - see vid: #vectrex #vyrzonii #shmup

Treated myself to a new #vectrex controller. It's excellent, my old one had 5mm+ up & down play in the joystick.

For anyone after a copy of Vyrzon for #vectrex, the US / GCE style version is now available from Sean Kelly!: vectrexmulti.com/order2.html#...

I've done quite a bit on additional logic for bosses, including intro & death sequences: #vectrex #vyrzonii

I've added a 'focus' weapon: #vectrex #vyrzonii

I've made a load of changes to how levels and enemy movements are handled, including adding a z axis, so can now have 'background' objects (displayed dimmer), like this: #vectrex #vyrzonii

It's been a while since I posted any Vyrzon II updates so here are a few... Up to now enemy gfx could only loop through animation frames. I can now have 'directional' enemies like this... #vectrex #vyrzonii

Looks like Vyrzon made an appearance at the Vectrex Mini stand at Portland Retro Gaming Expo: youtu.be/288u8bfwqf0?...

Bank holiday so time to make some stock… nearing the end of my production run of 300 clamshell Vyrzons, in case you were planning to buy one some time 😎 #vectrex #homebrew #retrogaming #quartzsquest #bigblue #frontier #vyrzon

Game 5: Vyrzon (Minsoft, 2023). We're in the golden age of Vectrex games, for whatever that is worth. :/ www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

That time @minsoftgames.bsky.social brought his amazing Vectrex cocktail cab over to an arcade meet I was having 🙌🏻 #vectrex #vyrzon #retrogaming #arcade

I'm currently working on enemies, particularly those that require additional code for unique behaviour. Asteroids are back...but this time break into smaller pieces when shot, as nature intended. #vectrex #vyrzonii

Ok, let's go again... the auction I started yesterday wasn’t accepting international bids so I’ve restarted it… Charity auction for @launchpadrdg.bsky.social www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30597142... Vyrzon #256 special Toxic Green shell version…

First time playing Sturmwind on the Dreamcast...what a spectacle! Incredible stuff @vgnysoft.bsky.social
