Classic Game Room HD - MINE STORM for Vectrex review

Classic Game Room HD reviews MINE STORM for Vectrex from 1982. Mine Storm is a built in game for the Vectrex (at least for my unit) and is similar to Asteroids with elements of Geometry Wars. It plays on the Vectrex with vector based graphics and uses a screen overlay to give some style and show the button layout for the Vectrex controller. Shoot bad guys in space and avoid the nasties that try and chase you around the screen. Mine Story is an excellent arcade game that feels like an arcade game when played on the Vectrex with the awesome controller. This CGRHD review of Mine Storm on Vectrex has gameplay footage from Mine Story and game play showing the Vectrex video game console from GCE in action! This is an excellent game for retro gamers and fans of old school video games and arcade classics from the early 80's.

The "mines" that the big spaceship leaves behind must be eggs since they birth the aliens you have to shoot to survive.I think we were all decieved :O

Did you know that there is a glitch that makes it so that you cannot get past level 13? Anyone that wrote a complaint letter like "argh wyh wai cnt i get past lvl 13 bro?" Would get a free copy of Mine Storm 2. (Which is actually just a fixed version of MineStorm) Very few people ever did, so this makes MineStorm 2 probably the most rare game for the Vectrex

Does everyone spam the fire button on this game? I've always taken precise shots, to conserve space ammo, or megajoules or whatever...

I don't get why this couldn't have colors on its own... and filled shapes...
