desiv Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Thanks for the info. I wonder if the ROMS for Viz/Tsunami can be found somewhere. Assuming, Christopher made them freely available. I was going to say no, but I just found this site: http://www.atarihq.com/vectrex/ with this on it: http://www.atarihq.com/vectrex/tsu-vix-utg.zip So, maybe.. I haven't tested that zip. desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Excellent! Thank you! I just downloaded the zip file and it has 3 bins. I'll see if they work on the VecMulti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard H. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Spike's Circus! Another one that's hard to find. I've emailed through the web site for it but have not gotten any replies. I asked Alex if he'd make it available as a download (purchased), as it works on the VecMulti. LOGO also works on the cart because that too uses extra RAM. I got no reply. It's a really great game BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked fine in my first one but that's now dead. I bought another and when I pllug my VecFlash in nothing happens... The machine doesn't even make it's signature hum...

ilovethevectrex Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 random question: would you consider the vectrex an acrade machine? just wondering what you guys think. in my oppinion, i would say no, but its the closest you can get for a game console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiv Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Tough call.. The size alone would probably disqualify it as being an "arcade machine" of it's time. I don't think there were any bartops back then. And of course it didn't take coins. But it was awfully close... Technically, it was a bit behind the arcade tech of it's time. By then, most Vector games were color and had more power. I considered it an "arcade experience" at home, but not an actual arcade machine. desiv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectrexMad! Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) But the minicade was, and this used an unmodified Vectrex..... more info at http://vectrexmuseum...rexminicade.php Edited September 2, 2012 by VectrexMad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
