Classic Game Room reviews GALAXY WARS SL for Vectrex from Binary Star Software, a modern 2016 release for the mighty Vectrex which is like Space Invaders meets Frogger.
CGR Galaxy Wars review features Vectrex review gameplay recorded from GCE Vectrex! Galaxy Wars Space Launcher for Vectrex!!
Mark, your Vectrex reviews convinced me to buy one for myself. Should be arriving soon!
I thought CGR was gone. RUclips had unsubbed me and I thought that was that. SO happy to see that that's not the case. back to supporting cgr and shouting edf at the top of my lungs!
gone now unfortunately
Careful: that overlay might suck you into the R-Zone...
The Vectrex opened the eyes of mortals to a land beyond this plane, a land of salvation and enlightenment. May The Vectrex forever dwell in the mortal world.
those machines are so cool
I think the world is ready for a Vectrex 2 with some sort of video-out for recording.
Or without the video-out. Let's just get a Vectrex 2.
The only thing keeping the VECTREX away from beeing the most amazing console ever is the lack of GUNSTAR HEROES!
Speaking of Rockin music check out marks review of Juno First for the Atari 2600. Bad ass Atari song
All hail the mighty Vectrex!
A desire to play Vectrex? HOW DID YOU KNOW?
Nice 5 o'clock shadow going there :3
Review. EVERYTHING!
Where did you get that controller?
John Norten FROM YOUR no those jokes are not funny anymore
Looks exciting, i can only scream for more.
mark still hasn't reviewed his toilet yet....I want to see a toilet review damit!
im wanting a company to make to remake the vectrex like theyve done the sega genisis
Toguro Can't be done. You can't replicate the look of vector graphics on a modern display. It's a very unique technology and tube manufacturing is long dead.
Vectrex designs have been released publicly, so all the info needed to build one can be found easily.
The problem is the display.
you need a CRT for this to work. a Vector display just doesn't look right on an LCD panel.
You might be able to get a very rough approximation, but it wouldn't look right.
You basically had to remember that the vectrex worked by letting programmers have direct control over the electron beam in a CRT tube.
Televisions didn't work this way, and neither do modern monitors. (however, old radar displays and oscilloscopes did.)
There's no pixels. Just lines. But... LCD displays are defined by their pixels...
So, yeah. No Cathode Ray Tubes = no new vectrex systems.
Or... At best, some rather poor approximations of a vectrex display that only looks somewhat like it.
And it's not just a typical CRT computer monitor; it's specifically vector graphics monitors like on an oscilloscope.
Is there something that you don't recommend???
I got to play a Vectrex at a local shop a few weeks back. Pretty damn cool. $200 not so cool. Wish I could buy it but too much.
should have bought it. Worth 3 to 5 times that now
One word...VECTREX!!!!
Fantastic frame rate on this console
These are the re iews I like.
does it take alot if cpu power to display vector graphics?
Almost? This thing is from 1982!
Not particularly, but it takes special display hardware.
From a 1970s-80s perspective, the advantage of vector graphics was that you could do really impressive things without a lot of CPU power. But it would only work if you had a physical vector CRT--simulating that on a raster display would make all the vectors look jagged. These days, of course, it's possible to do much better at emulating a vector monitor on a modern raster screen, but the look isn't ever 100% right--a real vector display could make really bright lines with all sorts of weird halation effects when the brightness was really jacked up.
Dude ur channel was really good. Been watching since you did that test drive unlimited review! You need to do modern games again.
