[sramirez2008]

James G Watt has a post in Vectrex Fans Unit! about a limited (20 CIBs) run of Stramash Zone. If you've ever wanted a copy of this Battlezone port, nows your chance.

Game on!

Oh, for anyone who doesn't have this game, get it!

"Vectrex Fans Unite" group on Facebook if anyone needs more help.  Looks really cool and I think it comes with a pin this time.  I'm thinking seriously about this one.

Must be fun to play it with that controller, @sramirez2008!

This edition does include a pin. My wife forget that I have a copy of the game and showed it to me on her facebook.

It’s a blast. The controller works well. 

Btw, does anyone know if Robot Arena was ever finished?

Mine came with a pin when I got it.  Did you not get one?

No pin with my copy, but I purchased it used. Maybe the pins were “while supplies last” or the owner forgot/lost his pin. The picture on Facebook (for the new edition) shows a cut-out in the foam insert where the pin will be included. My foam insert doesn’t have a cut-out for the pin.

<Edit> This thread doesn’t mention the pin. I assume this is the original run, not sure if there was more than one run. I thought it was only one.

Interesting.  I know I got it on the first run but I don't remember what "the terms" were for getting the pin.  It's cool they are including them on this new batch.

[sramirez2008]

Looks like the pins were available for purchase in June, 2020.

Update: I was able to connect with James G Watt and he had a Stramash Zone pin available for sale. I will also be receiving a 12v UV Light Frame. He was making these over a year ago and has recently started making them again.

Excellent news!

Light Frame and pin from James G. Watt arrived today.

Steve, what's different about this frame?  It's not UV?

It’s also UV. It’s a 12v vs 10.5v. and 24 LEDs vs 20. Overall, the build quality is a tad higher. I had this on order for over a year and had purchased a power supply and dimmer switch for it. Life happened so James stopped making his frames and in the meantime I purchased the 10.5v frames. Here’s his website: http://www.clockworkrobot.com/

This will be my daily driver for UV frames.

Cool.  I have one of the UV frames, so I was wondering what was different with this one.
