My first vectrex!

Hi all,

 

I just bought my first vectex!

My sister got it from a market for 30 euro's (that's about 42 dollar)

It came with the following games (together with books and those transparent sheets):

 

- Starhawk

- Scramble

- Fortress of Nazrod

- Starship

- Cosmic Chasm

 

Good deal I think!?

 

The graphics looks razor-sharp and everything moves so fluent! I don't understand why this was never succesful. It's like having a small arcade cabinet.

Wow! Tell your sister that if she finds another at that price, I'll take it!

 

Wow; Complete games and everything!

What a steal! I just got my Vectrex about 2 months ago and I love it. Like mentioned before you should get a mulicart or even better get a VecFlash. The VecFlash is all that I need for my Vectrex gaming needs and it saved me alot of time and money from having to buy all of the games seperate.

Do the majority of home brew Vectrex releases get a .bin image release on the 'net as well, or are there some cartridge only exclusives?

Their are alot of cartridge only games but there are still alot of good homebrews with a .bin for you to download. I think I have about 20 homebrews on my VecFlash.

No no no!

 

Whatever you do, don't get a vecflash or multicart. It'll ruin the whole experience for you. Trust me on this, since I got a vecflash and played 30 some odd games in a flurry of about 20 minutes, it spoiled the whole system for me. It now sits in the basement along side the Christmas tree stand..

 

You have a nice collection to start with there. Enjoy them.. savor them.. get the most out of those games.. then perhaps think about getting another.

Man, I really want a Vectrex now. Anyone got a spare? :)

 

 

you just missed getting one from me by about 4 or 5 years, buddy (some guy named rob patton got mine that i sold him) ... but if i ever

go back to looking at flea markets, you'll be the first to know.

 

... if i remember.

Congrats, there really is something extra special about the Vectrex. :cool:

 

As far as multicarts, I've got one and the awesome Vecflash cart. Hasn't ruined a thing for me, and sure makes playing that much more convenient!

 

I'll chime in on the vecflash. Best $80 I ever spent on retro gaming!

 

Uhh... what with the candles?
