Hi all,
being a proud owner of one of the limited edition 100 Protector carts I do
like to show it off when possible. I am also pretty hopeless at the game!
On Saturday a few people from various UK based games list met up near Milton
Keynes for a day of gaming old and new.
I took my Vectrex along with the Protector cart (and also a very old Richard
Hutchinson Multi-cart!) to demo. A lot of people there had never seen a
Vectrex in the flesh and all were impressed.
But the main thing was the long-time collectors I have known and met up with
over many years were blown away by Protector. The fact it is such a
fantastic clone of Defender plus the raster style graphics in places really
impressed.
As a bonus someone managed to beat the 20,000 score that I hadn't managed
*hangs head in shame* and unlocked the extra game on the cart which I must
say is superb and got played nearly as much as Protector!
So well done again Alex on two superb games.
