Vectrex review

Is there anyway i can get a cheap vectrex?

 

What is cheap ? :ponder:

 

I once saw a Vectrex in a thrift shop for about $15 Cdn. ;)

 

The controller was clearly damaged and I don't know if it was actually in working order. Unfortunately, I had no way to get it back home so I had to leave it :sad:

With a VecRAM, do you have to constantly have it hooked up to the computer? Or will it retain downloaded stuff so that you can, for example, take it over to a friends house?

 

Although multicarts are cool, I'd still rather have a collection of original cartridges. Somehow, it seems more authentic.

The original VecRAM cart has to have the Vectrex powered up when the program transfer from PC occurs. I use my palmtop to transfer programs to the Vectrex .. so portability is not a problem. (I type, compile and transfer programs to my Vectrex from my palmtop.)

 

The new VecRAM II cart to be released soon will store several programs for portability. So it is a mini multicart.

 

I have a large collection of original Vectrex carts .. but I never pull them out.

 

I have a large collection of Atari 2600/7800 carts .. but I never pull them out as I have the Cuttle Cart II. :D
