Edition note This is the authenticated combined 2000 cartridge, rebuilt byte for byte. It preserves its menu, text, graphics, controls, timing, audio and historical behavior. The black-background label and new cardboard box are rerelease artwork adaptations.

Emulator setup Use controller port 1. The 15,602-byte preservation ROM is distinct from a padded 16K programmer image. Modified-paddle emulation is verified separately from an actual paddle circuit; physical Vectrex and actual-paddle testing remain pending. Reset the console to return to the original combined cartridge opening.

Emulator keys depend on your button mapping. These are console controls, not claims of real-hardware testing.

THE QUICK-START GUIDE

How to play

Your quick start · Vaboom! · Vectrex

Three steps to start

Your mission Catch falling bombs with the three paddles, protect your remaining paddles, and build your score. Vaboom! is included in the original 2000 Ronen's Game Cart for Vectrex.

Choose Vaboom!
After the original cartridge opening, move horizontally to select VABOOM! in the combined RGC menu. Press button 4.
Choose a controller
At the Vaboom! opening, press button 1 for the standard Vectrex controller, or button 4 for a correctly modified Atari 2600 paddle. Use button 1 or 4 at the subsequent level prompt.
Catch and survive
Move left/right to line up the paddles with the falling objects. A missed bomb costs a paddle. Catch hearts to restore a paddle up to three, collect diamonds for points, and avoid the X that removes a paddle. When all paddles are gone, the original game-over screen displays the result; press a button to restart through the combined cartridge opening.
