Development and history
Battle Earth Terror Hazard—often abbreviated B.E.T.H.—is associated with Manu Pärssinen. Vectrexia preserves several numbered builds dated around 2000, allowing the project’s evolution to be compared.
Revision labels are important here: they describe development snapshots rather than four unrelated games. Vectrexia gives each named ROM a stable page while cross-linking the series.
This page uses one stable canonical URL for the title and loads its embedded ROM directly into the emulator after the Vectrex BIOS is ready.
Gameplay and background
Run this early revision with standard Vectrex controls and compare its mechanics, presentation, and completeness with later B.E.T.H. builds.
How to play in Vectrexia
- Move with the Arrow keys or WASD. Compatible controllers can use the left analog stick or D-pad.
- Vectrex buttons 1–4 map to Z, X, C, and V, and to the standard face buttons on most gamepads.
- Press a controller button after connecting it so the browser can expose the gamepad to the page.
Audio may begin after the first click, key press, or controller input because browsers can restrict autoplay.
