When i was young (7-8 years old) we got a Vectrex at home with a few games including this one. I remember this one the most because my mom didn't want me to play it because it was too violent! I had to actualy hide it from her and told her that I gave it to one of my friend who also had a Vectrex too. After showing her GTA5 the other day I should go and ask her if she still think this game was that bad back then :P
That was my favourite Vectrex game as a kid. Unfortunately we did not have it and a friend did so I had to go over to his place to play it on his machine.
such a fun game. i always thought about making a "city" overlay of new york city and los angeles and chicago. those boxes would be major landmarks and even a subway system
MARK POSTED A COMMENT !! I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT I AM SO HAPPY. That is so awesome. [dont know if you know, but Mark used to post comments under his videos - maybe the good times are comming back :D ?
Awesome game, played it emulated. I'm hoping to get a Vectrex soon, but it certainly is an investment with all the overlays, the console itself, and the multicart.
Every time I play this, I think "Where's my reinforcements!?" 'Cause that's what this game seems like, the town is under attack, and your the only guy left to defend it... untill reincofcements arrive! But they don't... and you die... and now the enemy has a stratigic location to launch a full scale attcak on us. You guys didn't show up, now we're gunna loose the war! Wagh!
That isn't what I meant. I meant that if a games graphics are bad, but the gameplay is good, then it is a good game. People shouldn't judge a game by just looking at the graphics.
I hate posting in these videos early on because my post always gets caught in those bs spam posts and I actually put thought into mine. but anyway love all the new Vectrex reviews lately. That's all I'll say for now.
The AI and movement is simply amazing...I owned Combat on my Atari 2600 and without a buddy, Combat sucked, for there are no AI enemies only two player modes.
@InecomCompany Just saw the game's review, my friend. I dare you to try to play both Berzerk and Armor Attack at the same time while watching the Star Hawk review!!! >:)
One of the best vectrex games in my opinion. I love my vectrex, thanks mark!
Wow, the helicopter looks really smooth and the way it moves is really awesome for 1982!
wow, this review really brought back some memories. Outstanding review!

I was thinking the same!!! If she only see todays games then this game would of been breeze!
i always like how sharp the graphics always look on the vectrex. such a neat system
This game is my jam. I love playing it so much. The way the helicopter explodes is so cool
thanks to you in just about 5 videos Vectrex has become my fav Video game console. amazing machinery.
WOW look how smooth that tank moves! No lagging at all. Maybe the Vectrex looks big, but it sure is quality!
I'm playing Star Hark right now!!!!!!
That was my favourite Vectrex game as a kid. Unfortunately we did not have it and a friend did so I had to go over to his place to play it on his machine.
The graphics on this console look neat.
its amazing how smoothly vetrex games played.
Another spectacular Mark sized Vectrex Review! This game gets a Solid Rating from me.
I love vectrex graphics!!
Combat is pure class...
I still play this one even now!😄😄
Oh, I remember this game, very cool. Vectrex was da bomb back then.
Aw man I need a Vectrex! Great review
Did anybody else notice how awesome the motion blur behind the missiles look when he's playing in the dark?
Sweet review!! I never had one of these, and it looks fun. When you take it all in, it's really pretty impressive when you consider the time.
Every vetrex review you do makes me want to buy one so badly!!!
such a fun game. i always thought about making a "city" overlay of new york city and los angeles and chicago. those boxes would be major landmarks and even a subway system
Great idea
Great review :D
i loved EVERY vextrex game and this was not a dissapointment
I love these videos so much classic game room is the best!
Love the "night mode", it really brings out the graphics.
MARK POSTED A COMMENT !! I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT I AM SO HAPPY.
That is so awesome.
[dont know if you know, but Mark used to post comments under his videos - maybe the good times are comming back :D ?
great review
Awesome game, played it emulated. I'm hoping to get a Vectrex soon, but it certainly is an investment with all the overlays, the console itself, and the multicart.
Very similar to the arcade!
Great review!
The box says that you can launch your own surprise attach onto the tanks but how can it be a surprise if their guns are always pointed at you.
@InecomCompany I'm watching your Star Hark review right now while watching this review at the same time! Tabbed browsing is an amazing technology!
Great game. The Arcade version looks even nicer. ;)
Every time I play this, I think "Where's my reinforcements!?" 'Cause that's what this game seems like, the town is under attack, and your the only guy left to defend it... untill reincofcements arrive! But they don't... and you die... and now the enemy has a stratigic location to launch a full scale attcak on us. You guys didn't show up, now we're gunna loose the war! Wagh!
This game looks awesome! As if I needed another reason to want a vectrex.
it seems like this was the cool thing to have back then :D even though everything is neon green its freaking awesome!
That isn't what I meant. I meant that if a games graphics are bad, but the gameplay is good, then it is a good game. People shouldn't judge a game by just looking at the graphics.
Vectrex is so awesome. Love the vector graphics.
Awesome thanks
@InecomCompany Bonus points for misspelling "Hawk"! :D
Nice.. love it...
Incredible graphics for 1982!
Almost pixel perfect port of the classic Cinematronics vector graphics arcade game!
It seem like you took off the overlay at the end. Nice review, Reminders me of this tank game off of Wii Play.
Does the flickering bother your eyes as much as it looks like it would? Or is most of that less noticeable when playing it?
STAR HAWK SENT ME HERE. btw nice ''Hark'' Mark ;)
Is there any way to buy this game? For pc...or even a standalone console of some kind?
Wow, this game is proper classic.
i really dig the graphics of the Vectrex.
God that looks cool.
this is awesome
wow, armor attack looks awesome :D
Same here. Such an addicting game. ;o
I hate posting in these videos early on because my post always gets caught in those bs spam posts and I actually put thought into mine.
but anyway love all the new Vectrex reviews lately. That's all I'll say for now.
The sound effect sound much more advance for 1982!.
What's the music at the end?
Actually when you play in the dark the overlay looks really cool!
KC muchkin had invisible mazes!!!
awesome!!!
Still better than CoD : Ghosts
After a while the maze started looking like a face with a cool mustache
Vectrex is so awesome
Okay, Vectrex has now topped my former favorite, the Atari 2600
this game looks like a modified version of Combat for Atari 2600, I just got one for christmas!
@InecomCompany Awesome, I love Star Hook!
Asteroids was a fun game, shooting rocks and random ufo.
Nice.
@InecomCompany Because you are awesome!
All hail the mighty vectrex
do you have a working controller yet. i found one on ebay that is still up for grabs at 15 bucks right now
The AI and movement is simply amazing...I owned Combat on my Atari 2600 and without a buddy, Combat sucked, for there are no AI enemies only two player modes.
Vectrex is awesome.
Hey.. first 1080p video.. w00t
I just get here to see how many tumbs up does Mark have for his comment!!!! BTW i saw it in the starhawk review video!!!
Wow, this is more exciting than Battlefield 2 Modern Combat. O_O
lol
you meant the star hark review
The chopper souund kinda reminds me of the Strike series on Genesis.
Aren't you the coolest kid on the block with your Vectrex?
The problem is it wasn't really the cool thing to have back then. If it were, it wouldn't be so damned expensive as the cool thing now. :-|
bring the chopper, yah feels like cod 4 the old style.
@ElliottGeorgeEdwards Came to thumb up Mark!
Did he say... a SHRUBBERY?
BRING ME ONE
This game is fucking awesome
i really want a vectrex, i wish it wasnt so expensive :(
Dude! I want a Vectrex! It looks like if you play this enough and get bitten by a spider you would get super powers.....or cancer but COOL!
@InecomCompany Yeah I noticed on your star hawk review lol
Yup it's his waltz Op. post. 70 No. 2
I've been thinking of getting a Vectrex, but I'm not too wild about prices for one.
@InecomCompany Because You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME :D
@InecomCompany Just saw the game's review, my friend. I dare you to try to play both Berzerk and Armor Attack at the same time while watching the Star Hawk review!!! >:)
Am I the only person who came here because of the Star Hawk video? :P
@ggnome213 It's radiating awesome!
YES i got it
1982 and yet not one frame was dropped.
@bigtarget9 True :)
@ElliottGeorgeEdwards Actually, it should be spelled, "Star Hark."
wow this should be for the 3DS!
i agree, maybe someone from the future went back in time and created it :D?
@Vectorben it seems everything on CL in NY is insanely overpriced. came with 2 controllers and 12 games though. needless to say I didn't buy it lol
gotta love that ventrex i think that graphics is best of the early 80s artari your pixel crappy games aint shit
you and your vectrex ^^
MARK YOU MISSSPELLED HAWK!
