Well, it's been a while, and I had this game lying on the harddisk on the several computers I had since 2006, when I coded it. I shied away from releasing it, since it was not in the state that I intended it to be when I began coding.

I realized, I don't really have the will or the time to finish it in the way I imagined it way back then.


But, well, before nobody will ever see it, here we go.. I cleaned up some stuff, and I hope it's kind of in a usable form now.

Unfortunately I lost the vectorfile for the villain ("Mandarin") that appears on the last stage, so he just has a walking animation. And I hoped for a couple more of fighting moves for my hero in this game, but well, you can't have everything..

Yet, I hope you guys will have some fun with this game...

Greets,
Michael from rainy Munich/Germany

Are you sure you posted the correct binary?

Hello Thomas,

I just downloaded and tried it out in ParaJVE, and it works here...

Did you encounter any problems?

greets,
Michael

edit: Maybe I should have added the info that this is for the Vectrex, not the 2600...

Maybe...

It's called "Vec Fu". He mentions a "vector file". The word "Vectrex" is in his sig.

You'd have to be pretty dim to not have assumed it was a Vectrex binary.

Yup, I am absolutely dim. Thanks for remembering me.

Happy to see this game is still alive! I really appreciate the first demo of it (I suppose it is always placed oni my VecFlash!)
Do you have any new projects on Vectrex (or on other systems)?

Hello RayXambeR,
at the moment I don't have much time to code homebrew-stuff, but my next project would be going on with my BombJack-Clone for the 2600 that I started a few years ago as well.

And I have a C64-Christmas-game in works, that I hope to finish coding before Christmas actually arrives this year..

Great game thanks for releasing it freely. I'm so happy I have a vecmulti as flash carts are pretty much the only way to play this afaik. I wouldn't thought that full human characters done with vector graphics would work but it gives the game a nice unique style. The background look great too. Would have been nice if there were more moves but its still a lot of fun and very challenging.

Very impressive overall.
