Arenafoot Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Episode 4 bedlam cleen sweep logo.JPG In this episode we talk about Bedlam and Clean Sweep. Mike Kennedy drops by to talk about his own Vectrex collection and a Vectrex Holy Grail that he recently found. http://traffic.libsyn.com/colecovisionspodcast/vecradioep4.mp3 in the next episode - Berzerk, I'm guessing you will cover how the game goes "Berzerk" once a player reaches over 5,000 points? I still don't know if it was just my unit and/or my Berzerk cart or if it was a GCE Berzerk bug and not an MB Berzerk bug - as I played a couple of Berzerk games on MB units at the 2015 Houston ArcadeExpo and could not replicate it. As I stated above, I used to log all of my high scores in the back of my Vectrex manuals - my best was: 6/8/86 8,580 (game did not go "Berzerk") 3/1/84 923,710 (game went "Berzerk"!) my current score: http://highscore.com/scores/Vectrex/Berzerk/3752 8,790 1/21/2014 Justin and Willie! 2 Quote Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arenafoot Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 episode 5 logo.JPG http://traffic.libsyn.com/colecovisionspodcast/vectrexradioep5.mp3 wow Willie! Can't get the bomb planted in the center on Cosmic Chasm???? Here's a trick to try- when you make it to the center and eliminate all of the diamonds, hold the shield and go as close to the center as possible, do a 180 turn-around and face the exit door you are going to go thru after the bomb is planted. Pull the joystick down, the clock will start and then hit the thrust and leave as soon as the clock starts - this helps save precious seconds to exit out before it goes off.

Arenafoot Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Will give this a try, and also read your feedback on the episode you also just gave us a score to go after I actually got PavaJVE emulator (Vectrex emu) to go "Berzerk" on Berzerk!!! Didn't beat the score above, but it's the first time I've been able to get the emu to recreate this bug!
