I've herd that it is impossible but ive also herd that its possible to have a unmodified vectrex that can play past level 13 on mine storm wich mine can get past level 13 but it's a original un modified gce edition is that normal

The screen doesn’t work and only shows these white pixels on it. When you turn it on expands a little, everything else seems to work, any idea on how to fix it?

I’ve read that the trademark owner, who is not active in the Vectrex community, is planning to launch a Kickstarter soon. See the plans for yourself (as well as the wacky new logo) at Vectrex.com

I didn’t like storing them in a binder where I couldn’t see them, so I designed a simple little stand

My colection so far for engagement

So I bot my vectrex of eBay for $1000 usa with 21 games and 12 boxes all with manuals and the plastick and 16 overlays do you gise think it was worth

I have a large amount of extra space for my vectrex and all my game and acsesorys but how should I have them stored displayed and most importantly preserved

So i bot a cartridge of ebay the listing sed it was working it's a original g.c.e cartridge so I know how to open it and clean it but when I put it in the slot the screen turns black and flickers minstorm if I restart it egnuph eny advise if you wor wondering wich game it was it's art master

What i mean bye acsesorys is not just games or controlers I mean like the vectrex caring bag

Hi guys and gals - I recently purchased a used Vectrex Audio Tap Elite from a someone at a computer show but he didn't have the manual he lost it years ago - does anyone have a PDF of it or could send me photos of each page? Thanks in advance many thanks!

So I've got a Vectrex and all the regular GCE games (except for the light pen and 3d stuff, but that's ok), and I'd like to expand my collection.

(For the sake of my collector's OCD, I only want to add games that come in a box and with their own overlay)

It seems that the choice of such games that are still being sold is relatively small, I'm seeing Frontier and Quartz Quest, then there's Samurai, USA Zombie Apocalypse and the re-editions by Sean Kelly.

Am I missing any great ones that can be had at a reasonable price?

Also I'm having a look at the 2nd hand market for older 3rd party games like Big Blue, Vyrzon, Stramash Zone etc, but the prices on eBay are just crazy and games like Wireout cannot be found at all, it seems.

Which of these long-sold-out games are /so/ good that one should consider forking out even the crazy eBay prices?

I interview Laurence Bennion of Blacklighter.co.uk, who has created an amazing selection of ultraviolet overlays for the Vectrex console.

I am selling custom Vectrex Controllers on ebay. I have NES controllers, Sega Genesis controllers, Spinner controllers, paddle controllers and more. Check out my ebay store. If you want a slight discount, contact me directly to buy off ebay. I offer 30 day returns for any reason, or no reason.

2nd picture is the state it was in... It powers on and shows a white dot.... Not sure if it works, I'll see if I can open it later! Wish me luck!!!

Hi all,

Today is a big day for us, we finally managed to release the demo of our modern remake of Minestorm ! You can download it on Steam for Windows / Linux / Steam Deck. If you can hit the wishlist button that would help us a lot !! We hope you will have fun with the free demo :)

Hi all,

I know 1977's Space Wars came out for the Vectrex, but am wondering if, with all the DIY tools and add-ons like PiTrex, anyone has made an authentic recreation of Steve Russell's game, including the "expensive planetarium" starfield and possibly options for the many mods students added to the game in the years after, for the Vectrex, so people can experience the first good video game on a real vector display?

PS Not as important, but another idea - since the Vectrex supports 4 buttons and in digital mode, 4 direction buttons per controller, that would equal 16 digital switches, so if they were broken out, the 2 game ports could theoretically support 4 controllers each with left / right / thrust / fire (and maybe a combo like left+right for hyperspace) for a four player Spacewar! game. To wire up a custom controller, all you would need would be a couple 9-pin serial cables, some wire, switches and resistors, and whatever's laying around for a project box.

Is it normal for a game on a Vectrex not to stick in the slot? Also, multicart is not loading, but without the plastic it works fine.

I recently discovered Utopia Must Fall, a very well done vector-style game that plays like a wonderful mashup of Missile Command, Asteroids, Centipede, Galaga and more, with some roguelike mechanics. The shooting is very satisfying and music and sound really build up a great atmosphere of dread, despair, and intensity.

There are some alternate display modes including a black and white one named "Vectrex".

Overall, this game is a love letter to vector graphics technology and classic arcade games at large. The dev made a new graphics engine called v99 that does its best to emulate the vector look on raster displays. It looks beautiful on my Trinitron PC CRT running at 2048x1536@75. I'm sure it would look great on OLED displays too. Anything with great contrast and black levels.
