Rodimus Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 http://eiti.fh-pforzheim.de/personen/johannsen/projektlabor/vectrex_2018/vectrex_project_2018.htm This is crazy. I kind of want a Vectrex but I'm not convinced I will play it much. Cool course to take and will lead to some new homebrew games. I think their is a flash cart for this system.

Littleronin Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 We have a Vectrex. We got it about 8 years ago from a friend for $100 and a case of beer. I think I have played it once and my son tried it once. It has been packed away in its box ever since. While something like this is cool. Unless something that jumps out to me as mindblowingly fun for the system, I think it will remain in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I bought one long ago too for $80. Can't believe how much they are going for today. It's a cool little console with a great controller for its era, but arcade style games only have legs so long and it eventually became a display piece. Once in a while I consider buying some more games for it, but I'm always hesitant to power on given tubes have a finite life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 I think there is a flash cartridge for it. So you can play other games and homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I'd like to get one at some point, their just pricy. Oddly, my big reason for wanting one is so I can put a grid test pattern on my screen as I'd like to make some adjustments to the display.
