New Homebrew Game Releases!

News Posted From Revival Studios press Newsletter

It has been a few months since the last newsletter. That not to say I've
been sitting still...

Besides the extra work that my daytime job, a new part-time study, preparing for a few modern game-titles and organising a retrogaming fair (www.retroevent.org) I managed to work ahead of schedule on Videopac,ZX81 and Commodore PET as well as laying a bit of groundwork for commodore 16/64 and spectrum development in the future.

Anyways, more about the above later this year. For now let's look at the news...

[VECTREX] - SMALL STOCK OF VECTREX GAMES AVAILABLE

Some of you might have noticed I haven't mentioned the Vectrex a lot lately. This is because almost all my Vectra games have been out of stock for a while and I am currently sourcing for new boards and cartridge cases before I can release a new game for the system.

However, there is some good news. During a clean-out of my development room I found a small bag with a few leftover boards for the Vectra. With this I have been able to create a small stock for some of my existing games.

There are now approx. 6-10 of each of the following games available for order:

Vectoblox, V-Hockey, Debris Revisited, Performance VX demo, Colorclash,
Shifted

Price per game is: 29 euros + 5 euro S&H

So for those that have been asking about my Vectra games, this is your chance to get a copy!

[EVENT - RETROEVENT 2013]

Retro event is a classic gaming event, held in the city of Elst (Gelderland), The Netherlands on October 26th 2013. The fair will host to a wide range of vendors from Holland, Germany and other European countries.

Expect to find great items for all your favourite classic videogame systems like the Nintendo, Sega, PlayStation, Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, Commodore, MSX, Sinclair, Neo Geo, various handhelds and more.

However, this event will be much more than just a fair. There will be a museum area and a special section dedicated to homebrew game development, where various homebrew developers, including revival studios, will be showing their stuff and launching new games at the event.

There is also an evening program with lectures, Q&A session with famous commodore game developers and a live performance by 8-bit music legend Jeroen Tel. Elst is very close to the German border, and the event will have many visitors from different countries in Europe (Germany, Austria, UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Sweden) so all international visitors are very welcome!
