Vectar, Will We See It Again?

[Jumpman]

Would anyone like to see an original Pandora version of Vektar? Hell, I would settle for a port! This was one of the all time great homebrews ever, IMO! So does anyone know if this is in the works? Or maybe this topic can show how much interest there is for a Vektar/Pandora project! I believe DZZ/Craig put out the original, so maybe Craig can shed some light for my request!

Sorry about that! I just assumed everyone here was a GP2x user, and had at least seen or played the demo. http://gp2x.co.uk/commercial.html I'm sure theres some video out there to, I'll post a link when I find some!

Here's a video link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQQjN5k9oSs ,not the best quality, but you get the idea!

If you know Geometry Wars then you know Vektar

If you know Geometry Wars then you know Vektar

Wikipedia says that the graphics were inspired by Geometry Wars, but it plays somewhat differently.

There's (IMO) room for a whole slew of retro games like Geometry Wars/Grid Wars/Vektar, such as Echoes (closer Asteroids on crack) and Thrust Extreme ("retro" glowy version of gravitar/thrust) possibly some kind of updated "Battlezone on crack" would be cool too

Came across this GP2x demo on youtube the other day includes Vektar at 3.15.

A quick look at the Developers' Corner reveals that we already have a project of a new game of the genre =]
