I have a Forum! It's still under construction but should be functional, so why not pop in and say hello!

CGEUK was a blast! I got a couple of tables at the last moment and took along a couple of Vectrexes and an Atari 2600 to demo my stuff.

Received lots of positive feedback for Berzerk Arena and Protector/YASI was popular as ever. Man Goes Down seemed to be a hit with the ladies! Something about the title caught their attention...

It was great to meet and chat with some "fans" as well as newcomers to the Vectrex, especially Mayhem, members of the YakYak forum, and Shellski who broke no less than 4 Vectrex world records on the day! (Bedlam, Spike, Starhawk and Star Trek.)

Kropotkin has put up a nice editorial, pictures and video (includes Berzerk Arena) of the event. (See the Special Features section on his site).

Looking forward to CGEUK 2006 already!

Bad news...
I'm a bit poorly at the moment and I haven't really been up to coding and stuff, so all projects are temporarily on hold. I'll get Man Goes Down finished and ready for release as soon as I can - sorry for the delay folks.
