It was mentioned a little while ago, but the link was dead.
Is this a hoax or the real deal?

Has anyone here seen any of the screenshots and has saved them
locally? If so, could you please post them / put them online or email
them to me? (in...@vectrexnews.com).

Hello Martijn,
Nice site! Pitcher's Duel was reviewed on that site you were mentioning
about a year ago. The guy whose site it was said that he knew a friend
who had a working near finished Pitchers Duel and that it would all
come out in the wash in the near future. Now over a year has passed and
I don' think anyone has heard word. I emailed the guy from the site and
he said it would be turning up at one of the game shows but I don't
think anything eventuated.

I am hoping to get an interview with 80's Vectrex programmer Jeff
Corsiglia in the near future. I emailed Jeff an he agreed to the
interview but hasn't replied to a few emais I have sent recently. Maybe
Jeff Corsiglia will be able to turn some light on Pitchers Duel (Batter
Up?). I'll email Jeff again soon and see if I can get the interview.
Cheers,

Daniel Foot.

Thanks Daniel,

Please keep me posted on the issue (and the interview itself
ofcourse). Also, anyone happen to have a screenshot that was posted on
the site? (maybe the guy from the site you've emailed).

Pitcher's Duel is real. It is also in safe hands for now.

Hopefully we will see some news in the future about its release. But for now
the person who has it is keeping the game wrapped until a quality
distribution can be done at a later time.

Sorry, but I can't mention names or the person would get mugged. :-)

Damn you read my perverted mind! :p
I've got a hard enough time trying to control myself next month when
i'll be seeing the only existing prototype of Spiderman for the
Videopac (offtopic, i know).
