For early 1980s, those graphics are awesome. They have a 3 dimensional perspective and you can even see enemies go behind the walls. Being able to bounce shots off walks was a nice game feature as well. A few different types of playing fields would had been a nice addition, but I guess there is only so much you can fit into that cartridge.
The end boss has to be Narzod himself right? Maybe you play the villain in this game, cause it seems to me poor Narzod is just minding his own business when you come barging in with your fancy bouncing laserbeams. Great review!
Now a days the seasons pass DLC for this game would be $39.99, include 2 DLC packs, first the bullets, then later the sound. The game itself would still be $69.99.
internal jokes aside, vectrex is really a interesting system that looks way too good for its time. it's a genuinely cool console. i'm always impressed by it.
32650 points? If you've recorded the whole game and used an original Vectrex controller you could submit that score to Twin Galaxies. That'd be world recod! Current highest score submitted is 25780.
Mark, why don't you swap recording's refresh rates: 60fps for intro & you drinking beer, and 24fps (plus a leeetle bit of motion blur) for VectrexKing so that we all shall not see flicker anymore! *LONG LIVE TO VECTREXKING*
This must be the first Fortress of Narzod video that actually shows the boss!
You kicked that final boss right in his Narzod!

man, all these games from my childhood... you're my hero :D
In my top 3 favorite games of all time on any system! This makes me so happy! Great job Mark, getting to level 3 isn't easy.
Ah, finally got this one in. I concur on the must-have status.
Woah, scaling on a home system in '83? That's the power of the Vectrex!

Lol, poor Narzod :/
Oh man, this review came out the day my nephews were born. That's awesome! When they're older, I'll show it to them =D

Flying death birds! Bro that's metal. Good song title.
Easily one of the best games ever made! Thanks Mark for another vectrex review!
Thanks for bringing that to us. Damm, I wish I knew about this awesome system back in the day! :(
What's in the garage? The El Camino of Narzod, of course!

One of the coolest Vectrex games.
personally one of my top favorite games on Vectrex. I have a near complete set of games. I just need Pole Position and a couple 3D ones.
I love this game!
Nice early 90s hair cut LC
Love this game!
Laserville, population 2? So, one of the population mans the laser. Who is the second person left?
the person the laser guy lets live to deliver him food and beer.
--- Ignore, meant as a reply ---
Colt Gustafson I am assuming this is based on Lord Karnage's will of course.
Indeed, as is all things.

I own this game and its pretty awesome.
Also the birds make a really cool sound effect.
That looks like a pretty cool game.
Your new haircut looks good.
