Omega Race on the Vectrex

Were you guys aware Omega Race was on the Vectrex?

I think this guy used it as a demo game. Does the Vectrex have a spinner?

It's been available for the VecFever cart for quite a while now but honestly I haven't played much of it.

I need to get me some of these cool UV overlays I see getting popular!

Jiz, you haven't heard of those being available anywhere, have you? I am seeing them get hocked on eBay for $1,500, so I assume the creator is not creating more right now unfortunately.

It did not originally, but with a few software tricks you can use the "Racing Controller" for Atari 2600 as a spinner. That's what I use to play Tempest.

Nah and I haven't talked to either of those cool German dudes behind that project at all lately. However, from what I gather the "PiTrex" is the latest toy out there.. and I would assume it could do what VecFever does aside from using the Vide SDK to try to make homebrew. Also, speaking of Ebay prices I just glanced at prices of Vectrex systems themselves and MAN am I glad I already own one!

I did some checking and I guess there was a game called Omega Chase, as opposed to Race- doesn't seem like it has the scoreboard in the center. I was able to download it through the Internet Archive:
