Classic Game Room HD - VECTREX console review!

jci10 Says:

Oct 11, 2009 - The Vectrex system looks like something the Soviet Union would have made in the 1970s. Geeez, I can feel the xray radiation being emitted from this video. "In Soviet Union, you don't turn on game machine, game machine turn YOU on!" BTW The Vectrex is NOT a TV! It's a vector screen. It has infinite resolution as there is no raster.

Oct 17, 2009 - everything were made for lasting back in the days, now it's made to last only until the next version comes out....

Oct 22, 2009 - I used to have one of those. I wish I still had it, it's probably a collectors item now.

Oct 28, 2009 - Great video. Wow. I wanted one too. Thanks for sharing. It was fun to watch. You're like the kid who I'd want to go their house and hang with. I guess I'm still upset that I never got a Merlin.

Oct 30, 2009 - im sorry, where the fuck did that come from? if your one of those people that just feels the constant need to insult someone else, then please go to a video that may actually spawn some debate so you can be shot down for your ad hominem attacks there. in this context you just sound like a douche.

Oct 31, 2009 - Nice video. I also have a Vectrex.....though I must admit that I do not have Berzerk and only have overlays for a couple of my games (Solar Quest and Space Wars). I have to agree with you concerning the Vectrex as it is definitely a great system. It's a shame that the video game crash took the system out. :( I would have been interested to see what the Vectrex's later renditions would have looked like.

Nov 2, 2009 - KG : vectrex didn't die with the 83 crash, in fact new games are still releasing for the Vectrex, the lastest release was february 2009 if I'm not mistaken. You can either buy those games directely from the maker, or sometimes download it for free and upload it to a vecflash "blank" USB vectrex cartdridge. Some of them are amazing, with polygonal 3D, grey shades, synthetic voices...

Nov 4, 2009 - How amazing is that machine? I had an old Atari 2600 back in the 80's (wood Grain version, which I still have) but how amazing was this machine, I honestly would have loved to have seen one of these as a kid. I LOVE vector graphics, but on the Vectrex they just seem smoother and more stunning - wow.

Nov 7, 2009 - I bought a Vectrex yesterday. And i put it next to my bed. Now i can play games at night without having to come out of my bed. unlike the atari 2600 or NES or any other video game console. I lOVE THE VECTREX!!!!!!!

Nov 18, 2009 - what is the music in the beginning plz respond

spritersie Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - i still got one next to my computer in case i have to wait for loadtimes. i like it. after all those years it got a few scratches here and there but the insides are perfectly fine. i do need to know one thing though, while playing some games the screen sometimes start to shake a little like seen with most older TV's, is there something that can be done about it? i know a specialist on audio and video but before i want to open anything i'd like to hearwat you guys think.

Drag0nfoxx Says:

Nov 19, 2009 - They should make a new console with its own vector-graphics screen. Which would play Vectex games.

CThiesUGP Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - probably needs new capacitors . if what you see on the screen is what we call " doing the hula" , need a capacitor kit is in order

Stalin111 Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - wow this thing rules. I wasted hours and hours, playing Spike on mine. And I hate myself for throwing into a dumpster in 1995

Maus5000 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - I got one with 32 games for 150!!

spritersie Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - that can be arranged, my dad has plenty of them, will it be risky to replace them? afterall this stuff is old.
