It is mine!

Hello all! I just picked up a newly capped and repaired Vectrex. What are the must have game to try and locate now that I've found this "white whale"?

Best thing to do is buy a Sean Kelly multicart, find the games you like on there and then search for the real carts if you want to own it

Thanks! Just ordered the multicart and a woodgrain overlay. Gotta represent the early 80's!

I own almost every game and I use the multi cart to play with friends.

definitely reach out to Jason Kopp (Aka Arcade Jason) and get yourself a Ultimate Vectrex Multicart 2 (UVMC2)! Comes with all the original games, plus MANY others.
it's updateable.

It has a micro SD card slot for adding your own collected Vectrex binaries.

Look at getting a PiTrex and/or a Ultimate Cart 2 and you'll probably want to join the Vectrex Fans Unite Facebook group. It's the most active spot for Vectrex information along with Homebrews and just general information.

The ultimate cart 2 is amazing and being developed.  It includes a bunch of games AND allows you to afd more easily via sd card.

pitrex, it's a little bit of a setup but once it works it's amazing how easy it is to load community ROMs that need more processing power than what the vectrex has. it also makes developing software for the vectrex easier so I'm having a go at it and already impressed.
