VECTREX

[desiv]

Thanks for the info. I wonder if the ROMS for Viz/Tsunami can be found somewhere. Assuming, Christopher made them freely available.

I was going to say no, but I just found this site:

http://www.atarihq.com/vectrex/

with this on it:

http://www.atarihq.com/vectrex/tsu-vix-utg.zip

 

So, maybe.. I haven't tested that zip.

Excellent! Thank you! I just downloaded the zip file and it has 3 bins. I'll see if they work on the VecMulti.

Spike's Circus! Another one that's hard to find. I've emailed through the web site for it but have not gotten any replies.

 

I asked Alex if he'd make it available as a download (purchased), as it works on the VecMulti. LOGO also works on the cart because that too uses extra RAM. I got no reply.

 

It's a really great game BTW.

Yes, I've emailed multiple times and got no response. The emails don't bounce back either, so looks like the address is active jut not being monitored.

Speaking of the VecMulti; Do you have any plans to produce any more in the future? For some reason my VecFlash doesn't work in my 'new' Vectrex. It worked fine in my first one but that's now dead. I bought another and when I pllug my VecFlash in nothing happens... The machine doesn't even make it's signature hum...

You were able to retrieve it rather quickly for that picture! LOL

[PFL]

I reckon I can see Photoshop artifacts in that picture. Tell you what, I'll give you a fiver for it.

For some reason my VecFlash doesn't work in my 'new' Vectrex.

 

I'll PM you with the fix

That would be great!

[ilovethevectrex]

is that actually real?!?! 0_o

[ilovethevectrex]

random question: would you consider the vectrex an acrade machine? just wondering what you guys think. in my oppinion, i would say no, but its the closest you can get for a game console

[desiv]

Tough call..

The size alone would probably disqualify it as being an "arcade machine" of it's time.

I don't think there were any bartops back then.

 

And of course it didn't take coins.

 

But it was awfully close...

 

Technically, it was a bit behind the arcade tech of it's time. By then, most Vector games were color and had more power.

 

I considered it an "arcade experience" at home, but not an actual arcade machine.

But the minicade was, and this used an unmodified Vectrex.....

ya, i agree. it didnt have the power (or color) of an arcade machine, but the overlays, the graphics, and the overall look of the console resemble an arcade machine
