Modified Versions Of Existing Games

[binary] [srecord] Minestorm
Based on my original reverse-engineered source for this classic Vectrex game, this version has fixed the level-13 bug, along with adding several new features:
  • After each 13 levels, you enter a new stage. The levels are the same, but each stage gets progressively harder, because the mines blink on and off; the duration that they blink 'on' decreases with each stage.
  • You can now configure to use rapid-fire.
  • You can specify the stage you want to start on.
  • You can give yourself an infinite number of ships.
 
[binary] [srecord] 2-D Narrow Escape
This is also based on my original reverse-engineered version of the 3-D Narrow Escape game. Since many people do not own a set of 3-D goggles, I decided to rework the game code, so that it would run without requiring the goggles. This game contains an Easter Egg, which will give you an unlimited number of ships. I leave it to you to discover this cheat; however, it's not very difficult to find!

Emulator Note: Both of these games are playable on the emulator, however, they both display some drawing funnies when played on the emulator. However, when played on a real Vectrex system, they appear to play correctly.
