mckafka99 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hi, with the help of a programmer i was able to create a Macintosh Serial Number Decoder, you can read out the date of production, manufacture, model ID and more from a Mac serial number. All informations are stored in a number and letter code. But what about the Vectrex Serial Number? Is there some information that can be read out of the number, like production date, manufacture (USA, UK, Japan?) and the specific model ID ? Does anyone knows something about a hidden code in the Serial or is it just from 00000001 to 01234355 ? Please have a look to my new project at http://vectrexmuseum.com/mobile/vecapp.php The first mobile Vectrex Locator App for mobile devices! I was just skimming this topic until I saw the graphic which, for a split second, made me hope there was actually an iOS app for the Vectrex. Not to hijack the thread, but how awesome would an icade enabled Vectrex ios app be? :-). (yes, I do have the real thing, it just doesn't happen to be as 'couch-side' friendly as an iPad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've been wondering if the 'retina display' reputed to be included in the upcoming iPad 3 will be able to do vector graphics justice. It seems like it would be able to approach the look of vector graphics pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I recently acquired a Vectrex system. Love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxpressed Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Added three to the list. One more to come after I dig it out of storage. Suggestion: I added either Hong Kong or Taiwan to the comments section -- this could even be a category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 this is from an iPhone last night I just noticed the Vectrex was the first console to have controls 'left', fire 'right', predating the Japanese Famicom controllers by 2 years.

Which site are you talking about? http://www.geekvinta...l-number-db.php Ah. Well I actually encourage Vectrex fans to register their machine at the following site: http://users.tmok.com/~gauze/vectrex/ This is not maintained by the original creator but you can still add your Vectrex details to it. Fill in the form, submit, and the next time you refresh the webpage, the details are added to the end of the list. I also frequently store all the data to an excel sheet in case the website suddenly dissappears. I think its useful to collect this data, as the more data there is the more can be concluded about different production types and production totals. This might be boring to some, but its heckish interesting to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
