About
Basically a vector monitor that is housed with a cartridge slot and a four button controller. A truly remarkable piece of technology for 1982. Still to date the only true vector graphics console to ever be released. While the Vectrex was a commercial failure, it has gone on to become the second most active homebrew scene (and the oldest) next to the Atari 2600. Relatively uncommon, it is highly sought after due to the excellence of it’s games (which are impossible to emulate exactly on a standard TV). The system also used color overlays to provide a color experience on its monochrome screen. Fan favorites include Star Castle, Spike!, Mine Storm and Solar Quest. Note that Minestorm is built into the console itself and will play whenever the console is switched on without a cartridge.
