For any Vectrex collectors out there, I thought I'd share this information I got today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE VECTREX OVERDRIVE CONTROLLER
Designed specifically for racing/driving games, the Overdrive Controller is the
first of its kind on the Vectrex console!
Overdrive Controller
 
Overdrive is released NOW! This is not another pre-order, as these will start shipping
this week! The sooner you order, the sooner it ships. If I start getting quite a few orders,
it could take a number of days to process your order, so send in your order as soon as you
can for fastest service. I will let you know your expected shipping date in your order
confirmation email (allow 12 hours for confirmation).
 
The Overdrive Controller comes complete with a mini metal steering wheel! This
is a 4-button controller that is compatible with several existing games (see website
for compatibility list). I also have two new compatible games planned for 2013,
Purgatory and Night Trucker.
 
Overdrive ships for FREE worldwide! Limited time offer!
 
These are "paddle" style controllers and are therefore completely different from
the Vectrosis Spinner. The two are not interchangeable. Spinner games do not work with the Overdrive Controller, and paddle games do not work with Vectrosis.

That's not the only controller being made for the Vectrex either.  Have you seen the Vectrosis controller?

Quote from: "zapiy"Yes you will?

Yea, I'm getting both controllers and sure, I can write reviews for them.  ;)  The Vectrosis has not been released yet as it will come with a game for it (with future titles planned).  The Overdrive is compatible with existing games, so that can get tested and reviewed sooner.

Awesome. Who owns Fury. Is that not Mr Pelonis?

Yes indeed, Mr. Pelonis.  I gave Laird a link that has the email address to use to contact him for an interview.  Hopefully, he agrees to one.  :)

I don't think I have it. Send it to Zapiy.

Yes, I posted it on the interview recommendation thread. 
If you go to this page:  HellHole there is a link with an email address for sending payment.  That is the same email address you can use to contact him.

It just arrived today.  I already have the Vectrex all set up to test it out and do some other reviews.  :)

A little blurb from my review of the Overdrive Controller now appears on the Fury web page for the controller.  The blurb credits RVG.  :)
