Retro Console Highlight - The Vectrex

With my computer still out for repair, tonight we mix things up a bit with a video highlighting one of the many great retro consoles in my collection, The Vectrex. We talk a bit about the origin of the system, how it met it's end, and play six different games on the system.

I can see why this sold well in 1982, it is like a arcade cabinet in your house with different games (some pretty unique for the time), for only $200 (probably is closer to $400 or so in today's money, but still not a bad price). Looks nice, the graphics are sharp and clear.

Yeah defidently a fun console to have. I imagine any kid that had one of these was a big hit in 82

Are you aware of the link control on Star Trek? You press button 2 in order to dock with a starbase to refill your shields and photon torpedoes (you have to link right on the rotating door though, which can be difficult), plus you do the same with the black hole (the concentric squares on the first level) to take you to the Klingon Mothership battle.
