Vectrex questions

[Rog69]

Their Trustpilot reviews are not great but other sources say they are legit. I ordered through PayPal anyway, so should be covered if things don't work out.

Someone did say they thought it was a scam and someone else said that they'd ordered from there and not had an issue. Looks legit to me but I take no responsibility 😁

Not sure what the deal is with that site. Pretty sure it's not Jason's. I only paid $45 for mine with a case, plus $23 shipping. That was a while ago though, so not sure what he's charging now.

I just paid $70 including international shipping for mine. So still $45 for the cart and case

 

[big10p]

Seems it's a legit site, according to Jason...

 

[Vorbis]

£64 including shipping doesn't seem bad to be honest. If my order from the US gets a customs charge it'll probably work out more expensive. I couldn't tell if it was with or without the case though as the photos show both.

No, that's normal. I have 8 and know people with considerably more. It's like a disease. 😆

I'm thinking I might get a good deal on one missing a controller. I want to send this one off for a service but having too much fun with it at the moment. Would be easier if I had two🤔

Two is bare minimum. 😆

2 uvmc2. Just incase a link up mode materialises

Space harrier looked amazing

Still on the hunt for a cheap vectrex sans joystick but keep buying games even though I have everything on the Pitrex it's just not the same without the overlays 🙄

Picked up a copy of Hyperchase this evening but really want Pole Position. I thought that would be pretty common but clearly not the case 😕

Pole Position was only released in North America. Vectrex got canned before getting a UK release. A desirable game for collectors, so not cheap, if you find one for sale. All the game overlays have been repro'd, though.

 

[Vorbis]

I didn't know that, which explains why I keep seeing the occasional US or Canada cart but nothing here. Will spread the search a little wider. Yeah I've seen the repro overlays on eBay, going to order a couple for games I've got where the overlays have seen better days. Trying to stick to boxed games but not anal on condition as they'll all look reasonable inside box protectors.

There's a sealed box 3D imager on eBay, but it's already near a grand so I think I'll give it a miss 😁

Yeah, that's a silly money item. 🙂

Another day another Vectrex purchase. Today was a copy of Berzerk. This is getting worrying. How many original UK releases were there? 😁

 

[Vorbis]

Ok, make that 2 Vectrex purchases, just added Bedlam to the collection 😁

 

[big10p]

Two great games. Make sure you check out Verzerk UNPLUGGED. You get the speech without the need for an AtariVox plugged in.

Only 1 game bought today, picked up a copy of Soccer. Don't think (other than 3D imager or light gun games) There's too many more to find.

So far I have

Space Wars
Clean Sweep
Armor Attack
Flipper Pinball
Rip Off
Cosmic Chasm
Spike
Web Warp
Scramble
Star Hawk
Soccer Football
Bedlam
Berzerk
Hyperchase

Of the official original UK releases think I'm missing
Solar Quest
Fortress of Narzod
Blitz!
Star Ship

Have I missed anything?

 

[big10p]

I think that's the lot.
