    There have been some interesting developments within the last few weeks. As it pertains to this thread, John Donzilla told me that he hoped to be finalizing the details on a new supplier within the next weeks.

     

    Also, Kristoff Tuts seems to be close to releasing Vector Patrol, Chris Romero has obtained a prototype of Mail Plane that he plans to release to the public in both downloadable binary and in a cart release, and inside info has revealed Johannes will be bringing back Madtronics which could mean that any number of Vectrex related products could be back. In the past, he has made reproduction Imagers, Light Pens, Arcade Joysticks and even Vectorzoa games.

    I would only use a shell myself if either the label were beat up or the pcb didn't work but most people want complete copies for the vectrex, so carts tend to sit around. Destroying one to protect your multicart really wouldn't be that big of a deal but most sellers want to much for them in my opinion. 10 bucks is stupid for a cart only but those translucent shells were going for 20 bucks a piece when the last few were still on ebay.

    Those red cart cases are from a run over 2 years ago that are almost completely gone. As of a week ago, John Donzilla of CGC was completely out of cart shells. George Pelonis of Fury Unlimited and Kristoff Tuts are probably the only ones who currently have any and who knows if they're willing to spare any. George and John's successor will keep ordering more but not sure what's available for the person who only needs a couple of cart cases.

    Its a little labor intensive. Not overly though. The main problem I've had is bubbling of the self-adhesive laminating sheets but it may be because I need to get heavy weight laminating sheets. The white backing is very important. I've tried both painting by hand and masking it off and spraying. I have not tried Edward's method with the stickers but I've yet to get to a point that I was happy with just yet.

    Andrew Coleman's is available. Don't expect an sort of email confirmation but it will arrive on your doorstep in about a month.

     

    Sean Kelly's carts are list all the time on ebay. Going rate is $120-180. If you see someone list one for 120, might as well buy it thats about as cheap as they get and since they include Vectrexians its not bad (It'd cost you 60 alone through Kristoff).

     

    Richard H on this forum says he has UNCASED VecMultis for $80 shipped ready now.

     

    I won't say that most of the games are readily available. Protector LE, Chistopher Tumbler's, and Alex Nicholson's aren't listed often and usually there's a fight.

    My favorite original games are Web Wars, Armor Attack, Fortress of Narzod and Scramble but everyone seems to differ. Favorite homebrew games are Vectrexians, Vector Pilot, Protector/YASI, Gravitrex, Thrust, Patriots and Tsunami.

     

    I'd recommend either waiting until Richard Hutchinson offers his Vec-Multi again (SD powered downloadable multicart) or purchase Andrew Coleman's 72in1 Multicart. Sean Kelly's Multicart 2.0 is also a good option but is very expensive though it does include Vectrexians. I don't think that the Vectrom is a good value personally.

     

    Of original games, only the 3D Imager stuff is particularly rare. Pole Position, Star Castle and Polar Rescue are considered rare but they're more uncommon and just demand a high price. $100-150 CIB. Cart only games run around 10 bucks but I've seen cart and overlay games go for as much or only 5 bucks more. Not really a good investment to purchase cart only especially when its worth it to get the overlays for the gaming experience. Most of the original games can be purchased CIB for between $30-40 except for the 3D Imager games, the Ligh Pen games and the 3 I already mentioned.

     

    Homebrew games are the ones that have some of the truly rare ones. Vectrexians and Vector Pilot are still available from Kristoff Tuts site, Fury Unlimited still has War of the Worlds (a very nice game) and both Good Deal Games as well as Revival Studio both offer a number of games written by Martijin Wenting. You came through a few weeks too late as John Donzilla has just stopped offering his games for sale this week from Classic Game Creations but may have a successor lined-up. He has some of the best games for the Vectrex. However, there are a number of Limited Edition games and games no longer produced. Alex Hubert's Protector LE is limited to 100 and highly sought after, Alex Nicholson's games are no longer produced (Spike's Circus, Logo, and Star Sling) plus all of Christopher Tumbler's games (Tsunami/Vix, Omega Chase and Spinnerama) and George Pelonis has limited all his games between 100 and 300 each. Prices for these range between 40 or 50 to 100 to 200 or even as high as 400-700. The rarest games of all are Mr Boston, Minestorm II and VeCaves/Spike's Spree though there have been a number of very special editions which have been produced as one of a kind, or only 10-20 such as I, Cyborg OMEGA (1), Debris Exclusive Edition (20) or Vectrexians Deluxe (1).
