Vectrexer Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Received the new Sean Kelly 2017 Vectrex Multi-Cart 3.0 today. Below is some quick pic and a mini review.Quality is excellent in every area.Menu operation is perfect in both forward and backward directions.Game selection and operation perfect.The number of games titles is improved! With some titles you might not expect to see.Multi-Cart Box rendition and quality is Perfect! Sean calls its a "KICK ASS BOX" and I totally agree with him.Multi-Cart box cart holder tray insert is excellent!Graphics on the front, back, and sides of the box provide an accurate feel of the original era Vectrex games box will provided a perfect match for the Sean's MultiCart. The the short history and production credits are wonderful to see as well.Multi-Cart Box size is ever so slightly smaller than an original GCE box. But you would have to look very hard to notice the difference. The box fits correctly into a RetroProtection Vectrex box protector!The Cartridge Holder Tray definitely does it's job well to hold the SK Multi-Cart in the box. The tray also does a great job in helping the Multi-Cart Box to keep a perfect shape. With the tray in the box just enough space remains to allow a one single Vectrex overlay with paper sleeve to fit inside the box too. The fit is tight, but it works. However, placing an overlay plus a manual inside the box in a traditional manner is not really be feasible because the fit will then be too tight. But there is an alternative. Place the manual inside the cart holder tray before inserting the holder into the box. Inside the cart holder tray is plenty of room for at least ten smaller CGE USA size format manuals. Or space for one, possibly two, larger MB Euro size format manuals.Love the upgrade credit being offered for current owners of his Multi-Cart. Sure it's not as overly generous, to a fault, cost of the previous update price from the 1990's and early 2000's. But still very fair considering you are getting a new cart in the process. Very few other homebrew developers offer this kind of upgrade deal.Overall I count this new boxed production of the Sean Kelly Multi-Cart 3.0 as a win and definitely a worthwhile value. If you have not gotten one yet, or have waited to upgrade your cart.Visit the shared Google album picture link below. to see images inside and outside.Google Album Link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Bva3M9Y2EezbqnEJ2Visit "www.VectrexMulti.com" to get your own copy of the new cart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+eebuckeye Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Got mine today and it is awesome! Quality is top notch as you would expect from Sean! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Would love to get one of these, but the £35 postage (on ebay) plus the highly likely import duty kills it for me as it would push the cost beyond £100. I don't think her indoors would be best pleased. Edited September 23, 2017 by Lord Innit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vectrexer Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Are you the vectrexer selling one of the new multi carts for almost 7000 dollars That is my eBay Vectrex humor, yes. $ 6809 . Its the CPU model number price. But if someone were foolish enough to offer that CPU price ,,,,, I would turn them down and point them to a real listing.

AtariBrian Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I didn't look to close at the games but what games are on this new one that aren't on the 2.5 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Is there a list anywhere of all the games on the new multicart (or could someone just post one) ? Makes more sense than people emailing individually... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Would love to get one of these, but the £35 postage (on ebay) plus the highly likely import duty kills it for me as it would push the cost beyond £100. I don't think her indoors would be best pleased. I suspect it's because the listing uses GSP, hence the higher postage AND that import duty would be rolled into the costs as well. Order one direct through Sean's website here - http://www.vectrexmulti.com/order.html- which is cheaper, and ask him if he'd mark down the Customs value in the process 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Just out of curiosity, is Vectrexians the same version (a demo ROM, I think?) that was on V2.5 multicart, or the "full" version that came out on cartridge later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayhem Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I suspect it's the same ROM from 1999, none of Kristoff's full games have ever been made publicly available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviphysics Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 (edited) Ordered one of these from Sean Kelly's web page and am starting to wonder how long he typically takes to ship. Not to be impatient and it has only been about 3 days, but just haven't heard anything from him yet.

aviphysics Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Edit: I should have checked the PayPal page before posting. Tracking number has been added to receipt and it shows a USPS shipping label has been purchased, so I am guessing the cart will be on its way soon. I am kind of surprised the purchase system didn't send out an update e-mailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
