Development and history
VGDB credits Tsunami to Christopher Tumber and dates it to 2002. ROM collections often include several builds, including trained variants, so Vectrexia groups matching title editions under one canonical page.
The game belongs to Tumber’s productive early-2000s period alongside Omega Chase, VIX, and other projects. Multiple surviving builds illustrate the informal revision and sharing practices of the homebrew scene.
This page groups 3 ROM editions under one stable URL instead of creating duplicate search pages for alternate dumps or revisions. The primary edition loads automatically; the other editions remain available in the in-app library.
Gameplay and background
Use the standard directional and action controls to survive fast arcade-style waves. Alternate preserved editions may change difficulty or training behavior while sharing the same basic title identity.
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.
