Vectrex Gaming Forum member binarystar has been working on a little surprise for Vectrex owners.  A brand new cart for the system with, not one, but two Christmas games!  "Stocking Filler" and "Save The Trees" are these two games to spread the Holiday cheer with vector goodness.  The games will be released in a cart by the end of the week and a free ROM release on Christmas Eve.  The games can only be played effectively using real hardware.  Below is a video of the games in action (excuse the low volume).  I have a test ROM, so expect to see a review of this cart added to the Christmas Reviews page soon.  ;)

I was thinking the Vectrex needed a clone of Astrosmash. Save the Trees looks like a winner!

Stocking filler seems like a Kaboom clone. That is not a bad thing. Do either of these games have support for the various Vectrex controllers? A trackball would be great but the spinner controller would be fine.

TrekMD

It says they require analog control, so I'm guessing there is no support for other controllers.

Thanks!

Both games are a welcome addition to the Vectrex library.

TrekMD

Yes they are and this is actually the first Christmas cart for the Vectrex.  That alone makes it worth getting.  :)

Mine has not arrived yet, so I don't know.  Maybe, if I got it in soon enough!
