Mark's Video Game Manufacturing is pleased to announce that Ville
Krumlinde's Thrust is now available as a cartridge for the Vectrex Arcade
System.

The resistance is about to launch a major offensive against the
Intergalactic Empire. In preparation for this, they have captured several
battle-grade
starships, but they lack the essential power sources for these formidable
craft; Klystron Pods. This is where you come in...

Thrust has been compared to Gravitar, but that only tells half the story.
Once you break in to the Intergalactic Empire's bases and hook your tow-bar
to a Klystron Pod, exactly how do you think you will be able get out alive?
This game will have you cursing and grinning ... at the same time!

Ville has done an outstanding job. Thrust is very polished and (for a
Vectrex game) is very deep. (Unless you already know how to play Thrust,
read the instructions before playing, or you will miss out on some key
game-play elements.)

Thrust features non-volatile High-Score Memory.

Cartridges are $11.50 + shipping.

The first orders will be shipped on November 27.

For complete details, please see: www.vectrexcarts.com.

P.S. Don't reply to the newsgroup post! I didn't want to get spamed so the
reply-to is fake.

See the www.vectrexcarts.com for ordering instructions.

If there's anyone that didn't happen to know - it's excellent!
Definately another jewel in the ever growing crown of Vectrex games.
And a price you can't beat!

I've never been a fan of the original Thrust, but this keeps making me
come back over and over again...

I have never seen the original C64 Thrust .. but I've played alot of
Thomas Jentzsch's Thrust for the Atari 2600. Both of these Thrust games
can be played using the 5 button Starplex controller .. Brilliant!

wish I had a starplex, but they were like $120 when they were available
way out of my budget ... anyway been playing a lot of Thrust. I too never
played the original or the 2600 version but this game _rocks_. I just
cleared level 3 on the Normal skill level, takes a lot to get use to the
flying physics with the "pod" or whatever it is when it's locked onto.

Another coder using raster graphics on the veccy as well, bravo!
