It's been a while since I posted any Vyrzon II updates so here are a few... Up to now enemy gfx could only loop through animation frames. I can now have 'directional' enemies like this... #vectrex #vyrzonii

If you’re in the USA and have been thinking of buying any of our games you might want to get them before the end of August when some more big, beautiful tariffs will cost you more for low cost items that you import. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
