The vectrex is fascinating! I still have my Vectrex (MB model) since 1983 and it still works perfectly. since he was joined by two other small brothers :-) For me it is the most magical console ever built. As I see the quality homebrew today, I'm speechless! Otherwise, thank you Mark for this video on "Starcastle" which is a great and challenging game .. friendship of France, Pat
My brother and I kept all the boxes and packaging material when we were young. Fast forward 30 years later and unsealing the doors to the shipping container with my kids,. While holding my USA Lite flickering bulb, we walked by Tutankhamen's sarcophagus, Anubis, the Ark of Covenant, parachute pants, Rampage Full size arcades and others until we made it to the waterbed headboard and in the pockets were Atari, Commodore 64, Nintendo, and Vectrex games. Unseen to human eyes and untouched by looters the treasure awaited a new generation. We slowly pulled the Vectrex with foam packaging out of its box and marveled at the ingenuity of the ancients!
Nice, finally another Vectrex review. I'd totally loan from my collection to see more reviews if only they did loaners (they rarely have but tend not to). I can understand why not though.
Clara Pagett this is also the year that people are going to learn to spell the name Vectrex right. oh, and its also the year where people are going to all get the rare light pen and draw their avatar on youtube with it. HINT HINT.
Cool this is one of the only games I don't have a physical copy of (other than on the multicart). It looks like lots of fun and like most Vectrex games damn hard.
This is a great version. These have been going for $100 on ebay for almost 3 years now. Yar's Revenge is actually directly based off of this game. I got to play the sit down version of this game. It was awesome!
I read that too. They were actually trying to make Star Castle for the 2600 but the system wasn't up to snuff for it so they took what they had done so far and made it Yars Revenge.
Hey Mark! You finally got Star Castle! Indulge in that delicious nougaty space cannon center! Mmmmm.... Nougat. I think I'll play Star Castle while eating Toblerone now. My high score is 460,880. What's yours?
Hey, imagine a 21st century Vectrex: built-in vector graphics monitor, and today's games WITH vector graphics (no pixels). That would be awesome, wouldn't it?
eww. jokes aside, this is terrible. I thought the vectrex was like a knockoff dreamcast or something; this is more like that driving game when i was a kid, where you just tried to keep the car on the road, and it looked like it was internally lit with a candle. Fun back then, but i didnt know/have anything better at the time.
Lansing, Michigan represent! Still couldn't believe there were more Vectrex reviews for Mark to do.
Vector games are so timeless. Just amazing!

This, Pole position and scramble are my favorites in Vectrex

Mark, is there a glorious Vectrex holiday? If there isnt, there should be; to herald the analog majesty that is the Vectrex!
Can you imagine Mark's joy if someone was to code Truxton for the Vectrex? As always, this review was of high quality and entertaining. Thanks CAR.
You know what is the only thing this games needs to be even better?
FLAMETHROWER!
Mark you do vectrex like nobody else!
They really need to make the Vectrex again especially with the trend of re-releasing old classic home gaming systems.
This intro is my favourite Karnage intro.
Vectrex review? *hits like button*
I know right
I need a Vectrex in my life.

My god, haven't seen this game in almost 30 years. Out of all the Vectrex games this is the one I was addicted to the most!
Ah, nice to see another classic game, rather than another PS4-that-looks-like-a-PS3 game. ;)
It's amazing how entertaining this looks. Kinda wish I had a vectrex
Damn you, Jesse! You've stolen my dream of becoming the first CGR viewer from Lansing to get pinned on the map!
Looks like a lot of fun!
NOOO that solar jetman sound effect! ARG
Vectex graphics just look so cool. o.o
whats that song that plays at 0:29
When are they going to port starcraft to the vectrex?
or Starflight...
AMR15x
That's going to be the year that the vextrex beats the XB1 & PS4 in sales
Clara Pagett
1982?
Clara Pagett
this is also the year that people are going to learn to spell the name Vectrex right. oh, and its also the year where people are going to all get the rare light pen and draw their avatar on youtube with it. HINT HINT.

My bad, Vectrex
I'm not lying when I say those visuals are amazing
I love glowy things
This game is awesome! Costs quite a bit, but it's so worth it!
My cousin had this, it was very cool

My high score is 460,880. What's yours?
I just played this for the first time, and was surprised by the sheer difficulty!
Vectrex is the best!
I'm surprised this game hasn't gotten an uberkickass modern remake for download on a current gaming system yet.
This game is worth a lot now. So i play this game with my Vectrex Multi Cart and the Rip Off overlay :-)
Star Castle, Fyeah! It's a really cool game!
This is Frackin awesome!
Vectrex > PS4, Xbox One & Wii U
Vectrex > EVERYTHING EVER
