Looking for Vectrex games

Hi guys, i recently bought a Vectrex and i was just wondering if anyone has any Vectrex games they want to sell. I'm located in the UK by the way.

Congratulations with your purchase of the Vectrex!

Is it original games you want (I.e. you want to collect original and individual cartridges together with the coloured overlays) or is it just games to play?

If its the former, plenty can be found on ebay.

If its just games to play you could either buy a VecFlash from Richard Hutchinson (www.vectrex.biz) and download binaries from various Vectrex websites via your PC and USB lead. It allows upto thirtyone 32K binaries to be stored on the cartridge. An onscreen menu on the Vectrex when the cartridge is plugged in the Vectrex allows you to choose the game. I can't remember how much I paid for it now but it was a reasonable price.

Alternatively you could purchase a multicart where the games are already preprogrammed on the cartridge.

Its occasionally possible to buy a Sean Kelly Multicart which was one of the origianl menu driven multicarts . More recently there is the 72 Game mulitcart available from www.playntradeonline.com/vectrex/ that includes pretty much all the original Vectrex releases plus somje homebrews, prototypes and demos (costs 49 pounds). You can find a review of this cart in VGT Issue 6 - www.videogametrader.com/vgtrader/index.htm.

p.s. I just tried accessing Richard Hutchinson's website and its not working at the moment. If you want to contact him you can just do a search on his name in this forum.
