high voltage Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yeah, I got a couple of games where's the feelie missing, like the iron-on, the matches, the panic button, so I gotta replace those one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I just bought a Vectrex at CGE, on an impulse. I'm now freaking out abut how to ship it home... That's a system I've always wanted to get into. I played with a Vectrex for just a few weeks back in the summer of 1983 (?) and really liked the handful of games that the owner had for it.

ghsqb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Well, there are a lot of things that I have that are considered rare or unique or whatever, but since we are talking Vectrex, have a look at this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I have a Vectrex I must think of a way to convince you to trade this to me and drive it across country. Maybe we could meet in Calgary or Saskatoon.

ghsqb Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I got such a sick deal on that. I had never even seen one before this one. It even has the overlay for Minestorm, which in itself is pretty rare, All the games inside, and the kiosk, as a package deal when I bought it. Plus my regular Vectrex collection. Hopefully soon I can get a pic of the whole collection...then you guys will see my depravity has no limits, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I have over 90 systems with, at last count, around 3000 games between them. So...yeah. I've been more into computers lately than consoles. Especially things like the TRS-80s Model I, Color Computer, and MC-10, and Timex/Sinclair 1000, none of which I really even need to get software for; I can just load .wav files of cassette programs from my soundcard. Ditto for the TI-99/4a, but I haven't had much luck finding cassette audio files for games. And now I'm finding myself getting into yet another facet of game collecting (that's all I need... ): vintage LED/VFD/LCD handhelds. I don't really have anything mindblowingly rare. I just have a lot. But I do have some relatively unusual things. Some notable items: Magicard repro w/ manual, overlays, cassette interface schematic (2600) Boing! (2600) Stadium Mud Buggies (Intellivision) Sean Kelly Multicart (Vectrex) Adventure II, Koffi: Yellow Copter, Christmas Cart (5200) Beef Drop, Alien Brigade, XE Light Gun (7800) Super Mario Bros. 2 Japan repro (NES) Sinclair ZX80 [PAL] Sinclair ZX81 USA Tandy 2 (custom-built TRS-80 Model II) w/ Disk Expansion Unit (three more 8" drives) and printer JVC X'Eye Demon Attack, Atlantis (Odyssey 2) Odyssey system (CIB, unopened/unused playing pieces) Atari Super Pong Pro-Am Ten (boxed) Alien Invasion, Galactic Space Wars, Hangman, Pro Football (Channel F) Peripheral Expansion Box (TI-99/4a) Tank (arcade, Kee Games, 1975) Anti-Aircraft (arcade, Atari, 1975) Microsoft Premium Softcard (Apple //e) Compaq Portable Triga Command joystick (2600, Commodore, compat.)

But do you know what's harder to find? Are Minestorm overlays really that rare? Then I must be in luck! The one I bought at CG Expo had it. Wow, I'm beginning to think that I got a pretty good deal. It came with five games: Minestorm, Berzerk, Blitz, Star Trek, and some tank game. All with overlays. The Vectrex itself is a little worn, but in very good condition. It also included two controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one made for each vertex. The problem is that it is hard to find one without the vertex included. The other problem is alot of vectrex systems no longer have their minestorm overlay. What is really rare in the picture above is the MInestorm 2 cartridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
