They leave mechanical "orbots" to clean up the mess they made on Earth through littering and pollution. Raster, a high-level orbot who watches Earth through a planetwide computer network, is accidentally attached to a working nuclear missile by a lesser orbot and goes insane, becoming an evil dictator named Warhead. He declares himself ruler of Earth, and begins preparing to execute any humans who dare return to their planet. |
Enter Vectorman, a humble orbot in charge of cleaning up toxic sludge by simply discharging it into the sun. As he lands on Earth after his last trip, he finds chaos and confusion. Because all the other Orbots are controlled by Warhead (Vectorman having not been affected because he was away), Vectorman takes it upon himself to destroy the errant orbot and restore peace to Earth. | Enter Vectorman, a humble orbot in charge of cleaning up toxic sludge by simply discharging it into the sun.

− | == | + | ==Gameplay== |
− | + | The game itself is a straightforward 2D action platformer. Vectorman is an orbot (something like a robot) powered with a ball gun in his hand; powerups include a machine gun, "bolo" gun, and triple-fire guns. {{A}} and {{B}} both shoot and {{C}} jumps. {{C}} twice will launch Vectorman into a brief boost. | |
− | + | Vectorman possesses the ability to transform, through the use of powerups, into several different forms: including a drill, to cut through floors; a bomb, to destroy all surrounding enemies or breakable walls; and an aquatic form, useful for swimming underwater. In addition to powerup transformations, 3 levels host unique morphed forms with which to combat bosses in. Overall, the game consists of 16 levels. | |

+ | ==History== | ||
+ | ===Prerelease=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Release=== | ||
+ | In North America, special randomly distributed copies of ''Vectorman'' have a special "you win" screen at the end of the game, along with a phone number which could be called and an address. If consumers sent these special cartridges back to Sega of America before July 31st, 1996, they would receive prizes - one $25,000 prize (won by Keolamanaokalahuinui "Keola" Kaula of Albuquerque{{intref|Press release: 1996-01-12: 12-year-old gamer wins $25,000 cash grand prize in Sega's videogame contest}}), ten £10,000 prizes or one of ninety [[Sega Saturn]] systems{{magref|egm|77|22}}. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Vectorman'' was both a critical and commercial success, and was re-released in North America as part of the [[Mega Hit Series]]. It was acclaimed for its gameplay, level design and 3d graphics, and a great techno soundtrack. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Legacy=== | ||
+ | ''Vectorman'' was not originally released in Japan, with its debut in the country coming through the PC compilation ''[[Sega Archives From USA Vol.1]]''. It was released on the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] on February 27, 2007 in Japan and April 5, 2007 in Europe, and in North America on September 22, 2008. In accordance with [[Nintendo]]'s modern anti-seizure policies, this release has been patched to alter the flashing of certain elements, most notably the quick strobing displayed when destroying an in-game television.{{ref|https://tcrf.net/Notes:Vectorman}} A PC conversion was reportedly announced in 1996{{magref|gamepro|99|102}} but never materialised. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''[[Sonic Gems Collection]]'' has both ''Vectorman'' and its sequel as unlockable games. ''Vectorman'' can be unlocked by playing the compilation for at least 5 hours or by having a save file of ''[[Sonic Heroes]]'' or ''[[Sonic Mega Collection]]'' on the memory card. Both games were the only bonus titles to be kept on the international versions of the collection. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''[[Sega Mega Drive Collection]]'' also features ''Vectorman'' and its sequel, this time as games available without the need for unlocking. ''[[Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection]]'' also contains the game. | ||
− | + | A sequel, ''[[Vectorman 2]]'' was produced for the Sega Mega Drive, and was released in 1996. | |
− | Vectorman | + | Although BlueSky Software, the original developer of both ''Vectorman'' games closed in 2001, a [[Vectorman (PlayStation 2)|''Vectorman'' game for the PlayStation 2]] was announced in 2003 but was soon cancelled. |
− | + | ''Vectorman'' was at one point planned to be made into a 3D animated movie by Ideal Entertainment, with a tentative release date of late 1997{{magref|gamepro|98|30}}. This never materialised. | |

Vectorman (ベクターマン) is a Sega Mega Drive action platform game developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega. First released in the United States in October 1995, it is best known for constructing its characters with spherical sprites to simulate three-dimensional animation, and has been frequently rereleased in a number of first-party Sega game collections.

Blurb
“ | By the year 2049 Earth has been turned into a toxic waste dump! Humankind has fled into space leaving behind an army of mechanized "Orbots" to clean up the mess! But when the Orbot leader, WarHead, goes haywire and starts a robot revolt, only a lonely sludge barge pilot named VECTORMAN can pull the plug!

Story
In 2049, the human population of Earth embarks on a migratory voyage to try to colonize other planets. They leave mechanical "orbots" to clean up the mess they made on Earth through littering and pollution. Raster, a high-level orbot who watches Earth through a planetwide computer network, is accidentally attached to a working nuclear missile by a lesser orbot and goes insane, becoming an evil dictator named Warhead. He declares himself ruler of Earth, and begins preparing to execute any humans who dare return to their planet.
Enter Vectorman, a humble orbot in charge of cleaning up toxic sludge by simply discharging it into the sun. As he lands on Earth after his last trip, he finds chaos and confusion. Because all the other Orbots are controlled by Warhead (Vectorman having not been affected because he was away), Vectorman takes it upon himself to destroy the errant orbot and restore peace to Earth.
Gameplay
The game itself is a straightforward 2D action platformer. Vectorman is an orbot (something like a robot) powered with a ball gun in his hand; powerups include a machine gun, "bolo" gun, and triple-fire guns. and both shoot and jumps. twice will launch Vectorman into a brief boost.
Vectorman possesses the ability to transform, through the use of powerups, into several different forms: including a drill, to cut through floors; a bomb, to destroy all surrounding enemies or breakable walls; and an aquatic form, useful for swimming underwater. In addition to powerup transformations, 3 levels host unique morphed forms with which to combat bosses in. Overall, the game consists of 16 levels.

History
Prerelease
Release
In North America, special randomly distributed copies of Vectorman have a special "you win" screen at the end of the game, along with a phone number which could be called and an address. If consumers sent these special cartridges back to Sega of America before July 31st, 1996, they would receive prizes - one $25,000 prize (won by Keolamanaokalahuinui "Keola" Kaula of Albuquerque[4]), ten £10,000 prizes or one of ninety Sega Saturn systems

Vectorman was both a critical and commercial success, and was re-released in North America as part of the Mega Hit Series. It was acclaimed for its gameplay, level design and 3d graphics, and a great techno soundtrack.
Legacy
Vectorman was not originally released in Japan, with its debut in the country coming through the PC compilation Sega Archives From USA Vol.1. It was released on the Wii Virtual Console on February 27, 2007 in Japan and April 5, 2007 in Europe, and in North America on September 22, 2008. In accordance with Nintendo's modern anti-seizure policies, this release has been patched to alter the flashing of certain elements, most notably the quick strobing displayed when destroying an in-game television.[21] A PC conversion was reportedly announced in 1996

[22] but never materialised.
Sonic Gems Collection has both Vectorman and its sequel as unlockable games. Vectorman can be unlocked by playing the compilation for at least 5 hours or by having a save file of Sonic Heroes or Sonic Mega Collection on the memory card. Both games were the only bonus titles to be kept on the international versions of the collection.
Sega Mega Drive Collection also features Vectorman and its sequel, this time as games available without the need for unlocking. Sega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection also contains the game.
A sequel, Vectorman 2 was produced for the Sega Mega Drive, and was released in 1996.
Although BlueSky Software, the original developer of both Vectorman games closed in 2001, a Vectorman game for the PlayStation 2 was announced in 2003 but was soon cancelled.
Vectorman was at one point planned to be made into a 3D animated movie by Ideal Entertainment, with a tentative release date of late 1997
