Ive had my Vectrex since 1987 and its still going strong. When I
brought it it came with Scramble, Cosmic Chasm and Rip Off. I later
purchased Bezerk from Milton Bradley Australia (I think, I live in New
Zealand and it was a long time ago) after some letter writing.
Anyways, I would like to get back into my Vectrex but I dont know where
to begin. Some more games would be a good start but which games? Should
I forget about the old games and start buying the new homebrews? Does
anyone sell controllers? If so should I get a second one?
Remembering that I dont have unlimited funds what would your next move be?

Hi, I'd suggest you buy a Sean Kelly multicart on ebay. This wil give
you every classic game ever. Sean sells them really cheap, but very
infrequently. Failing that route there is one on ebay right now, but
it might get pricey. A cheap alternative are Maccallan's multicarts;
much better value, although there is no cartcase so they don't look so
snazzy.
As for controllers and stuff maybe Daniel has some cheap suggestions
considering his Oz experience.
Welcome back.
Cheers Alex |
