    Vectrex, cheaper to own and less in demand than other retro consoles? Wow, 2009 really was a long time ago, wasn't it?

    My dad was a sales-rep and Vectrex was one of his lines, so when I was 4 (1982) I was fortunate to have a Vectrex system in the house. My brothers and I would still play it even after we got a NES and then the SNES. One day when I was thirteen I went to closet because we wanted to play Blitz! only to find out my mom "donated to charity" claiming we never played with it. I still bring it up twenty years later.

      It's because it is using vector graphics, zero pixels. It is using insanely fast moving electron beams to illuminate a chemical coated in the screen.

    @Manintoga 10 лет назад +32

    Most electronics of that era were actually built to mil-spec, which meant they went through extensive testing before they were approved for sale and guiding design principle was durability. As the demand for affordable computers and consumer electronics grew the manufacturing standards and quality control went down several orders of magnitude, instead of testing each component and circuit board, manufacturers started testing only one in 10, 100..etc.

      Fast forwarded to 2017 where we have Nintendo calling their Switch and bait system having dead pixels and called it completely normal.
      Electronics used to be built to last now they built to ditch.

    This video game was and is the system I played before getting my Genesis in 1991. I must have played it so much my original controller stopped working in the 1990s and I literally destroyed it trying to repair it. I improvised by using my original Genesis controller and it worked to an extent. My Vectrex stopped working a few years back and had it fixed a couple of years ago. I got a new controller (Gen. 6-button-based) and more games to add to the games I already had. My Vectrex play lives on.

    The day our Pops got us a "Veptrex" from Child World is one of our fondest memories, it was just out of the blue for no reason or holiday. We loved it, though the screen overlays became frisbees and weapons.Yea it took alot of abuse but it performed hardily, never broke or wore out. It was a really Dope machine.

      @@coinslotsandjoysticks2572 I agree! I’ve owned 4 over the years and one I had shipped from the Netherlands to Utah. It arrived in great condition and fired right up! I like the controller we got here in the states much more. The European buttons felt big and to mushy in comparison. I just purchased my 5th Vectrex Yesterday with 12 games 3 controllers and a light pen for $960.00. I thought it was a good deal. I haven’t played any Vectrex in about a year and I’m going through major Vector Withdrawl! If you ever want to sell a Vectrex I would be interested! They are my favorite game system of all times!

    This is both a cool score, and sad at the same time. All these old machines, some designers poured a lot of their dreams into, only to have them be flash in the pans, or never catch darling status and disappear into oblivion. The whim of the public is a cruel fickle thing. I got a Milton Bradley Microvision handheld console with overlays like that one Xmas... with two games... breakout and some mine game... for the first time in my life, I felt accidentally filthy rich.

    Quick explanation: with a standard CRT, the ray starts at the top line, traces it left-to-right, drops to the next line, and so on down to the bottom. Repeat about 50 times a second. With a vector beam monitor, software can aim the ray wherever you want it.

This store is the size of a Target Super Store. Is there anything you guys are pining after to review? If so let me know, I might be able to get my hands on it.
    I just want to point out...the Vectrex has some obvious dark demons it needs to get out. He literally tried to kill you when you gave him a hug. Thank God you had more lives!

    I just my vectrex today and it was the last day of my school (as of this comment) so today was a pretty good day, it's awesome me and my buddy played it so much before he had to leave it kicks major major but I gave mine a hug because it deserves it. Also it's alot smaller and doesn't weigh as much as I thought it would. But its still awesome.

    The venerable Vectrex is indeed large for her day, 1982. Back then and up until the early '90s, I would watch a 13-inch Hitachi TV set with rabbit ears and simulated wood trim. Got the local, network and UHF channels just fine. Doctor Who (Tom Baker & Jon Pertwee) came in just fine. The UHF dial broke, but lock-down pliers did the trick. I was far too impoverished to afford such things as a Vectrex, but I split the cost on an Atari ST home computer and played Jawbreaker and SunDog.

    Very very awesome man! Looking forward to your reviews. I wish I still had my Vectrex. But in all fairness the screen went out and I never got a controller with it so yeah. But way awesome man!

    The glow from all of the games is awesome, for some reason it has a different look from pretty much all of the systems that I own.

    The 6809 was a great little processor. It may be 8-bit, but it could do 16-bit floating-point math and was capable of full task preemption- perhaps the first microprocessor to do so.

    A buddy of mine had one of these in 1992 when we were in middle school. It was fucking awesome. We spent our time playing the Vectrex and Street Fighter 2. Good times.

    I created a portable battery which fits into a backpack that fits onto the bottom of the Vectorex. I have walked into my local pie factory plugged some headphones in and played some Vectorex on the go. So yes, you can carry the Vectorex and play it on the go.
