RE: Vectrex

Joe/All,

For a vector enthusiast, it's a must-have. At least for me, it has been...
sort of bridges the gap between my console collection and my coin-op vids.
I was fortunate enough to get an excellent deal on one with several carts
from a friend several months ago, and still enjoy it thoroughly. (though
I'd recommend acquiring one of Mark Shaker's updated cart PCB's, dropping a
ZIF socket into it and just burning games from the online libraries as
needed, rather than paying eBay prices for the carts)

A few good links to start from:

http://www.classicgaming.com/vectrex/ - Spike's Big Page - Excellent
reference and definitive starting point for all things vectrex. (especially
links to repro gear, carts, etc.)

http://www.inil.com/users/vectrex/ - Brett's Vectrex Preserve - outstanding
overall tech reference... make your own lightpens and 3D goggles!

ftp://ftp.csus.edu/pub/vectrex/ - The definitive Vectrex FTP archive. Has
scans of all screen overlays, binaries of the complete original Vectrex game
library (and a few new additions) as well as complete archive of game
instruction books, etc. A must have!

http://members.aol.com/vectrexcs/index.html - DOS Vectrex Emulator - The
MAME of Vectrex!

http://www.classicgaming.com/museum/vectrex/vectrexfaq.shtml - Gregg
Woodcock's Outstanding Vectrex FAQ/history, etc

news:rec.games.vectrex - And of course, the newsgroup!

Happy Gaming!

Very respectfully,
Kristopher Sandrick
