Vec 21 Freeware
From usenet a message from Fury Unlimited
And for your holiday gift this year...
Vector 21 released as freeware! This also includes
the Star Fury 3D demo. The demo is minimal. Button 1
raises the space station shield and Button 4 fires. You
can move the fire with the joystick. No sound. The
demo should be considered unstable in general, and
untested with homebrew 3D devices.

VecArcade
Rudy has finished his VecArcade Construction Kit - a limited edition is now for sale.
Vectrex collector and hardware freak Rudy assembled a high quality and great looking cabinet version for the Vectrex system. It features a complete and safe housing for the Vectrex and high quality parts for the game controls. The cabin controls are connected via the standard connection port to the Vectrex, there is no need for changes on the Vectrex system itself.
The cabin is build completely from wood, later colored in black and some original game designs are added - you can choose between red Scramble or blue MineStorm design. All parts are made by hand, Rudy uses the Donkey Kong cabinet in half size with the exact measure for the side and adapted the width for put a Vectrex in it.
There will be a limited production of only 5 VecArcade "Series One" Construction Kits, in collaboration with vectrexmuseum.com who owns the #1 model. A Sticker including the production number, the production date and the name of the first owner will be attached to the VecArcade. If you like to have an assembled unit Rudy will send you one without more costs. If you are interested in buying one of the remaining four VecArcades for your collection please contact Oliver at vectrexmuseum.com . VecArcade #2 is ready to ship!
