If we look again almost 30 years back: GCE and Milton Bradley stopped production of the Vectrex 1984 on. After that it was quiet and peaceful at the Vectrex. Only 1996, also 12 Years later developed John Dondzila with Vector Vaders the first homebrew game for the Vectrex. and thus heralded a renaissance of Vectrex. How many Vectrex title John has developed alone, I would have to count, which due to its game collections with the melodious name Vectopia, Vecmania and All Good Things, not so simple. To the 20 Vectrex games are expected from the pen of John come, including gems such as the very extensive Gravitrex (Clone of Gravitar) or Vectropolis, a racing car game in 2D view, which can be played by up to four players simultaneously. John Dondzila and Jay Smith, the head of GCE, of all original titles for distribution released, should it be due to, that not so very common Vectrex still lives and active developers and a loyal following has.

addendum on 23.09.2013: Due to the large number of orders, inventories of John Donzila are exhausted much sooner than expected, so unfortunately no orders will be accepted. In John's website states: “… Since I announced that I was closing up shop later this year, I have been swamped with game orders that have exhausted my supplies far earlier than I had anticipated. …”. Probably there will be a successor, What would be nice and also important for the Vectrex Platform.
