Bez Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 Need advice for good games and are the games regionfree? Somebody got Vectrex games or stuff for sell/trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 If you are into just PLAYING, consider one of the available multicarts. It's got them ALL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez Posted July 28, 2002 Author Share Posted July 28, 2002 Yeah, Ive seen the multi carts but they don´t come with the overlays I presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 You don't really need the overlays for most of the games. In fact some games play better without them. I think there is a story around about the Vectrex programmers mad at management because the artist didn't consult them when creating the overlays, as for the most part they were a marketing afterthought. I guess there are a few games for which you need the overlays. Pinball and, oh, that tank game need overlays, and a few of the games like soccer and football have some helpful instructions printed at the bottom. But for the most part they are unnecessary. The benefit of the multicarts is that they contain hobbiest games, prototypes and fixes that were never released on their own cartridge. The other benefit of Vectrex multicarts is that they are unquestionably legal -- all the games were released into the public domain.

Jobf Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 The VecRam is worth a thought too. You can then download any bin file from the net and play it on your machine. This has the benefit of always being up-to-date, and you can write your own games and test them on a real console really easily! http://www.ric.dial.pipex.com/ This isn't my product btw. I just have one and its great! Steve/Jobf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric_ruck Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Thanks for the tips guys! So, anyone got some carts for trade or sell? I actually have most of the common games available for sale or trade, many with the overlays. If I left my office to get the list my wife would figure out that I'm not working like I told her I was (I am working, I'm on a break) but if you want to send me an e-mail I'll get it together. I was actually holding on to them to sell them with the spare Vectrex after I fix it, but I will probably never get around to fixing it, so...

atarifan49 Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Vectrex??? Awesome...wish I could find one....RIP OFF!!!! Finding a Vectrex is like finding 100% Pure Gold! BTW...Nice page, Atari Joe I have two for sale. One is a US model that has no label cover on the joystick and the other is a UK model with the 220V/50Hz plug on it. The UK model has a good joystick but the case is a little beat up. Email me if interested. Think of taking them to CGE to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdesmet Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Thanks for the tips guys! So, anyone got some carts for trade or sell? Sorry for the plug, but I'll have VeCaves available for sale at the CGE It will come boxed with manual, overlay and bonus game. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_ruck Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Bez prompted me to get off my duff and get rid of those excess Vectrex games. You can find my list here. For the next week Bez gets rights of first refusal since he started the whole thing. Leftovers go up on eBay probably the last week in August or so.
