I only WISH the old Vectrex system was this cool (not relying on a screen overlay for its color)!

Greg and Ned, thanks for dropping in! I'll be buying this with my next round of purchases on Wednesday; looks very cool.

You guys were involved in making Firepower 2000 / SWIV? LOVE that game. A proper re-imagining on IOS would be amazing.

Thanks Caanerud, glad you remember it! SWIV is always at the back of my head, we'd love to go back and revive it - got lots of ideas for it - if all goes well with current projects, it could happen!

Yeah Gormster, it doesn't look like anyone's planning to release a vector based console any time soon, so we had to make our own one up!

I'm loving the development team photo you have on Facebook as it is SO CLEARLY a late 70's-early 80's photo (that may have ever so slightly been photoshopped).

One of the first I'll be buying as soon as I end my self-imposed AppStore ban

The presentation is wonderful. I really dig the whole "this wasn't really a game/platform back then but it totally should have been!", similar to Jeff Minter's current line of games that are based around hardware-enhanced versions of the old platforms, the lovely Master games from xionchannel, or *ahem* my own attempt with breakeroids.

I'd like to think it's something in the water, but I think we're all just getting old

Holy smokes! If this game doesn't scream from the roof tops for iCade support, no game does! . Heck, in the demo video the iCade's little brother has his cameo appearance.. I can see myself playing this with a shot of Vertex Blaster before my work day for many months to come! I just love to blow things up before I get to work, ya know .

Just bought this, i do love my vector looking games !

Really good, does remind me of an old Vectrex game with a coloured overlay on. Really hope they do some remakes of some of the old classics like Galaga/Berzerk etc, would love vector remakes of those.

The games well worth buying
