I release tonight the 1.1 version of the “biblio Vectrex” (full list of Vectrex games). No new game is listed, but the first scans are available : Rip Off and Solar Quest, in european version. I think that they are really awesome, a kind of mix between retro and future !

Rip Off on Vectrex

Solar Quest on Vectrex

Two little gems in my mail box this morning : Solar Quest and Rip Off. The “cassette” boxes are in an excellent shape, which is pretty rare for 25 years old games ! Two fun games, especially Rip Off (the Solar Quest filter is quite basic : only a yellow spot in the middle of the screen -- the sun -- on a blue background) : you have to protect a pack of small triangles -- fuel cells -- from pirate ships stealing them. You have to shoot the pirates ! Some kamikazes are among the ennemies, to kill you, but you are not the primary target. It is a difficult but original game !

You can find a tutorial on Youtube here :

Some of my readers told me that they could not remember the Vectrex console. Not at all, really ? Here is a quick video compiling some great & famous games of this system, especially the amazing Scramble (released on Xbox live recently) :

Is it working ? Are you remembering it ? A console with a built-in screen, displaying blue/white vectors and using filters to simulate colors ? That’s it ! The Vectrex from Milton Bradley !

Sorry, this entry is only available in Français.

I have the great pleasure to announce you the release of the Vectrex section and its associated finder tool. I will list in few weeks the games released in Japan by Bandaï. I think the list is pretty reliable to be published, but as asual, your opinion is very precious in case of errors.
