--------------------------------------------------------------------------- This was by far the best video game system of its' day. Unfortunately it didn't receive the backing by Milton Bradley that it required and therefore was lost in the shuffle of a major corporate acquisition. If you find one of these gems at a garage sale, grab it immediately you will not regret it. Especially if you were a vector graphics fan in the eighties or a retro gaming enthusiast. Armour Attack, Star Hawk, Scramble were some notable gems and Spike was the precusor to the side scrolling Mario games. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first true "Home Arcade" system. The Vecrex was sold at places like Toys R Us and put the other "Home Consoles" to shame. The Vecrex offered the True Arcade games like Berzerk, Blitz, Hyper Chase, Pac Man, Pole Position, Cobra, etc. It was also the
first all

beautiful work of art, the
It had an
ingenius system
of using "Overlays" that brought the appearance of color to the dismal
Grey Raster Scan monitor.
The Vectrex is
considered
by many to the be the holy grail of portable gaming. The Forefather to
the Gameboy, Virtual boy,
If you can find
one, snatch
it up. A good Vecrex is very hard to find. 100.00 is not a high price
to
pay for one in good condition.
Happy Hunting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- This system was short lived, as it was obsolete soon after it was released, but it is one of a kind. No one was ready for what Vectrex brought to the table back when it was released, so it failed. I have every game ever made for this system, and am just missing the 3D glasses. Vectrex has never been duplicated and it would really be a great idea for a handheld unit. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
