  1. when it comes to waiting for stuff in the mail, i am the most inpatient person in the world D:

  2. 16 in total, but that is including EVERYTHING (early handhelds, pong systems, ect). the list is actually in my signature, lol.
  3. wow, very odd issue. do other games (actual carts) do this when you plug them in? it might just be the minestorm game and not the whole system, because at the beginning of the video it seems fine, then it starts to glitch out.
  4. happy bday sonic lol

      At least '95 gave you the option of using the new UI or keeping the old one, unlike Windows 8.

       

      (And for the record, I saw thousands of '95 machines in the field in my time, and I never encountered even one which was configured to use the old Program Manager UI. Unlike Metro, the Explorer interface was widely considered a substantial improvement.)

      Just been watching the videos for this and it looks amazing! Nintendo are one of the few companies left who remember games are about having fun.

  7. well this isnt really a new version, its really just an updated version that, as far as i know, goes up to level 68. and although they werent widely distributed which really is a shame, a repro cart is easy to get. its on almost every multicart or you can get a cib reproduction of the game at classicgamecreations.com
  8. thats a very nice collection! also some good homebrews
  9. i might start a thread about this if i dont find any info on this. i just bought a "computadd express 325nxl" laptop at a swap meet for 5$. i cant find anything about it for soem reason. do any games work with it? what year was it released? if anyone knows please tell me. thanks

  10. well im glad you are doing this! 1)i would buy 2 of them 2)i would say it completely depends on the quality and if they work. and btw, PLEASE go with what iesposta said and make repro 3d imagers! lol. i know its unlikely that that will ever happen, but its worth a shot i guess
  11. i just spent about 30+ minutes writing about how why i chose the vectrex, and i just accidentally highlighted it and pressed delete on accident. and i freaked out and pressed refresh and then i realised i could have just pressed undo. im such an idiot sometimes xD. well, here is what i said in brief, cause im not writing all that again lol: -it has great vector graphics and great sound quality which uses the same tecnology used in real arcade machines -has an AWESOME fanbase; no trolls, no annoying fanboys, just people having fun. best fanbase ive ever been a part of. -each game (besides light pen and 3d games) have an overlay, which are always fun to have. they add to the uniqueness of the system -good but small library of a total of 28 released games. i currently own 14 of them. its a fun system to collect for, but; -the only downside is the price. i always seem to get good deals which i am thankful for, but nowdays its 150-250$ per system -it has 2 awesome addons: a light pen (which you can basically draw stuff on the screen without it being a touch screen!) the 3 games are art master, a drawing/animating game, animaction, a more complex animating game with built in sprites as well as your own which you can draw/animate, and melody master where you can compose music (so basically you can compose vectrex music. EPIC!) and it also has a simon says sort of game -the other addon is the 3d imager. it allows the 3 games released for it (btw this is spot where i pressed delete xD) to be in 3d AND in color WITHOUT the overlays. -another downside: the system failed because of the game crash and its rare (and expensive as i already said earlier) and here is the main reason this was a bad thing: they were going to then release a portable version and a color version. after the game crash they thought about releasing the portable version, but they knew it was going to get crushed by the gameboy so its a sad story of how amazing technology with such potential failed. well that took about 15 minutes lol. well worth it. its a great system and it deserves more attention. its the best system of all time as well as the most underrated system of all time in my oppinion. and it has an awesome selection of games thanks for reading, i know its long, but i have to let it all out lol
  12. yeah i saw this before, hope the winner gets a good deal i have to say though: that guy has the plastic tray for 25$. really? 25$?! thats alot! lol
  13. i got pole position on the vectrex! WHAT NOW? lol

  14. a couple of days ago i got 2 limited vectrex homebrews, 1 is called hexed (just came out about 1 1/2 weeks ago) and the other is called sundance. i think the sundance homebrews are gone by now, im pretty sure mine was #147 and there are 150 of them
  15. yeah i would say around 1,500$ is what all of that is worth, mabey even a bit more
  16. homebrews are awesome!

  17. wow its awesome you helped with that game! its one of the vectrex homebrews i plan on buying, as well as the 2600 version
  18. trust me, i dont plan on doing that lol. i have one, and i plan on buying others. not to mention i already own a bunch of vectrex homebrews
  19. juno first looked like an awesome game, so did toyshop trouble medieval mayhem is an improved version of warlords right?
  20. well it seems like toyshop trouble might be the one. ill be sure to buy alot more later on
  21. well there was a finished vectrex prototype for a dark tower game, you can find the rom on the internet. mabey if you made it, you could model it after that
