FeistyGirl Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) UPDATED: Finally got a complete collection of US overlays!!! Now I am looking to fully complete the collection with the European variants: Looking for the following Vectrex overlays: * Flipper Pinball * Soccer Football * Web Warp Don't have to be in perfect condition, as long as they are in one piece. I am willing to buy the full games of any of the above as well, provided the Overlay is included. I also have the following available for trade: Carts Only: Armor Attack Berzerk Blitz! Clean Sweep x2 Cosmic Chasm Fortress of Narzod (w/ Box) Hyperchase Polar Rescue Pole Position Rip Off Scramble Solar Quest Space Wars Spike (w/ Box & instructions) Starhawk (w/ Box & instructions) Star Ship Star Trek CIB: Fortress of Narzod Reproduction Overlays: Set of 27, all originals minus Heads Up plus several Homebrew NOTE: The Repro overlays are printed, but still need to be white painted and laminated.

VectrexMad! Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I've also been looking for overlays. I've got two Scramble overlays, if anyone is interested in a swap. I am more then willing to pay for Flipper/pin ball, Solar quest, Pole position, Star Castle, Star Hawk, Clean Sweep and Spike overlays. regards VectrexMad! http://www.vectrex.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jboypacman Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) I might be able to pick a few overlays up locally at one of the "mom and pop" game shops i go too so i will check it out and see what they have left they might have a couple of games too for anyone that needs them.

FeistyGirl Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks jboypacman! And if anyone is looking for games, I have updated my original post to show what I have available. And I saw the overlays at atari2600.com, I wonder why the Star Castle one is so expensive... it wasn't all that rare imo.

R.Cade Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I made myself a multicart sometime back, and have no overlays. I think tomorrow I'll go out and see if I can find some colored plastic sheeting and make a couple of generic ones of different colors. Anyone tried this?

Zwackery Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 And I saw the overlays at atari2600.com, I wonder why the Star Castle one is so expensive... it wasn't all that rare imo. Many years ago, Star Castle was a fairly expensive (~ $65) title, although the price has fallen off a lot (like many, but not all, Vectrex games). It will probably take a bit of time to find loose overlays for the games you want, although they do show up, you'll just need patience. Otherwise, you could go for duplicates that are more complete (depending on what you want), and then sell your loose titles off. (I went and looked on eBay today and saw more Vectrex listings than I have seen in a long time.) At some point, reproduction overlays were being produced, but I don't know what became of that project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone has the titles listed above w/ carts I'll take em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 darn... I just sold a Vectrex lot on Craigslist. It had 5 overlays... I remember one was an extra that I did not have a game for it (well... for that lot that is. I have the game and overlay/box in my collection) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeistyGirl Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Updated my list... if anyone has the games listed I'll take em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeistyGirl Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Updated my list, finally got a full US set of overlays!

Had to get a bunch of other stuff to get them, so if anyone wants to trade stuff I'm open! Congrats with your full set of overlays acquisition - now I'm really jealous. I guess you've got some spare overlays now? Which ones do you have for sale/swap? VectrexMad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ones do you have for sale/swap? VectrexMad! See my updated list above. Unfortunately the only spare Overlay I have is part of a CIB Narzod. Everything else is carts, Boxes, and Instructions.
