[steven78]

are you serieus?

[Mayhem]

Hmmm... interesting there. Probably would need dumping to see if there's actually any differences to the retail version.

[steven78]

sorry i do not have the machines to dump these

[Richard H.]

Can you open up the carts and take some pics of the PCB ?

Wow, amazing find. Please, pictures of everything would be great! Especially that wooden case!

Never heard of the name variation Dr. Flip...kind of like how Pitcher's Duel was supposed to be Batter Up! for awhile.

They look genuine to me. Still would need dumping to check for any difference bar the title screen though. Where in the world are you, and would you lend them to be dumped?

*cough* Joust Evolution *cough*

(I understand your hesitation, just ribbing you haha)

Steven, you should really try somebody to dump those ROMs. Richard H. or Mayhem are both very trustworthy, as well as Martijn Wenting (a countryman of yours). You could even have them dump it, but not release it to the public...it would just be informational to have someone analyze the prototype source code. Thanks!

[steven78]

i do not collect vectrex myself.. i do collect sealed nintendo games.. or any nice NES items.. i rather trade or sale them before dumping.

Anybody intrestted? or should put them in the for sale section?

[Desfeek]

PM sent. If you aren't interested in these items, there are many people who would love to have these.

One question though, are they PAL?

[Mayhem]

Vectrex doesn't have PAL or NTSC, which certainly helps buying cartridges from anywhere in the world.

[Desfeek]

I know this, I just don't collect UK CIB games. If he has Heads Up! Action Soccer, I would make an offer on it.

Pics of the Wooden Case? Has John sent you those Overlays Mayhem?

[steven78]

i do have the heads up action soccer cart only, pics of the wooden case are coming up and a movie of star ship..

[Desfeek]

No thanks, I already have a cart, manual, overlay. Just need the box/inlay.

Please, pictures of that distributor box would be cool!

[steven78]

some pics of the case.. and all the other stuff i got with it.

and the movie of the other proto

[steven78]
