Yes, it does. We gathered together and purchased Zektor EPROMs at a huge price
in order to keep the code from falling into the hands of someone who would
hoard it. We shared it with everyone (wasn't that whole thing how vectorlist
got started in the first place??). Anyway, yes, the game is on emulators (of
course, Lee Bender found a Zektor a few months later, who knew?) and in
multigames, but people are enjoying a NEW game (even if it is actually a OLD
game), and isn't that what gaming is really all about?

Yes, there used to be a time when I could say I was the only one in the world
playing Zektor (and I was the best in the world at that game at one point!
;-)), but I'm also glad that everyone else is playing something I that I was a
part of.

Now download the EPROMS so we can play it too ;-) ;-)
