For all you emulator junkies :

Should work on DVE and MESS.
Looks way better on the real thing :)

The cartridge version can still be bought from www.gooddealgames.com

 Latest news : 

[12-17-2002] The binary is now out for emulator play. These news won't be updated anymore. Have fun!
[9-3-2002]
The first batch of VSB's sold out in a couple of days and a new batch is now being made, should be ready soon.
[8-11-2002] The hassle with the limited editions (boxes getting crushed in mail etc. has finally been solved). The Classic Gaming Expo is this weekend, and Good Deal Games has started to sell the regular editions there!
[5-16-2002]
Everything's about ready. Mark Shaker has manufactured the initial batch of 13 carts and I've built boxes and 'overlays'. The lucky people who had the chance to reserve a limited edition will get theirs probably in 2-3 weeks. (Mark will send them to me first, then I'll pack them up and THEN they'll be ready to be shipped out).
[5-2-2002] Most of the programming is done (95%). Got more or less everything in there that I wanted. Next it's for more playtesting, doing the manuals and stuff..  still pondering on the possibility of the 'Limited Edition' -version coming with an overlay..  
[3-20-2002]
Two player game is shaping up, object collision and punches/blocks are working. See the screenshot.
[3-12-2002]
One player practice game is almost finished. Basicly working, needs some final touches. Friend of mine promised to look into making a Vectrex-friendly version of 'Eye of the Tiger'.. we'll see how that goes.
[3-2-2002] One player practice mode is shaping up. The  release date is still set to 2003 (might change due to progress and more free time).

 Planned features 
 - 1 player practice game
 - 2 player fighting game
 - 4 characters to choose from
 - cartoony animated characters
 - nice startup music 
 - bells and whistles
