    Can I just state that I appreciate you just getting straight to business. I understand why people put introductions in their videos, but man, some of them take too long and that's presuming they're not doing an read ad right out the gate.

    I received a Vectrex for Christmas in the 80s when they went on clearance . I actually still have it and all of my original games . It's my favorite vintage console . I played a lot of Mine Storm , Berzerk , Star Trek and Blitz which was more fun than it should've been . I've got a few of the homebrews and custom controllers by Fury Unlimited and a Sean Kelly multicart , I've also got a Sean Kelly dust cover for the Vectrex console which I highly recommend .

      That's so odd. I ordered an overlay off Ebay, and it came from Sean Kelly. I didn't realize he was famous for this type of stuff.

    As a gamer who started gaming in the early 80’s I can honestly say I have never seen a vectrex in action. Not even on you tube. It seems like something I would have loved. (I loved the virtual boy btw). Fantastic video I need to try one of these out somehow. Me and my little homies love your videos!

    Interesting video. As someone who grew up long after the Vectrex's release, I hadn't heard of really any of these titles. So thank you for sharing.

    Nice seeing the Vectrex getting some love on your channel. The homebrews are pretty amazing. I would check out Vector Patrol and Vector Pilot for sure.

      I was surprised to not see Pole Position on your top 10 list. At least Scramble made the list, both are two of my personal favorites.

    Finally I discovered this system again. When I was 4-5 years old, my best friend had the Vectrex (I didn't know the name, until i finally found it here) , and it was so satisfying to see Minestorm and Scramble again for the first time in 40 years. Now, I just need to find my old childhood friend :-D Thanks for the video!

    A few years ago I saw a Vetrex at my local antique store. I thought about buying it but ended up passing on it. A few weeks later someone else bought it. I regret not buying it because I've never come across another one.

  • @ThorStoneGaming

    One weird thing, i believe I first played Vetrex at a doctor/dentist office waiting room of all places. I think I played the asteroids type game.

    The multi carts are cool and have some homebrews but there are tons worth playing not on a multi.... Vectorblade, vector patrol, vyrzon, etc! Wet Cat is a fun one that came out 2023.

    Never played this system. Only heard of it and seen some videos. Simple, but at the same time cool aesthetics. Gives me "TRON" vibes here and there.

    I wish I could get my hands on a vectrex, I remember as a kid having one and the monitor stopped working we brought it to a tv repair place and at that time they wanted way too much to repair it if my memory is correct. I definitely need to try and pick another one up.

    Never seen a Vectrex in Real Life, but guessing from the Video it must look really nice if you have it infront of you.
    As Colors in some Games often pop out reeeally nice on CRTs and i can't replicate it on my LCDs.

    I always see the Vectrex in retro game stores near me. Usually, they are the most affordable stuff I the stores, but It's not my thing. But I do think It is an interesting concept from back then. Cool video. ^_^

    Nice video and some interesting choices in the top 10 like Spike.
    I do like Spike, too, but I find the gameplay a bit fiddly. Speech is also a nice addition in Spike.
    So I can understand your list.
    Have you tried homebrews yet?
    Vector Pilot and Vector Patrol are wonderful games by that Vectrex magician Kristof Tuts.
    Vector Patrol is sheer black magic.
    There is also a Star Wars game I still have to check out myself. Rumor has it that it's really good.

    Never actually seen this played anywhere … first time seeing this played cool! I’ve seen it I think one time in person … not sure it’s my cup of tea… I feel that era of video games is really special to 70’s and 80’s kids 90’s and early 2000’s it doesn’t have the same appeal … idk why

    I think you should make videos showcasing playing old odder systems. The VHS and tv overlays went with the odyssey were at the bottom of your console ranking list but I found those oddly looking and I think would make a fun TH-cam video not ranking the games but discussing the technology. Would I like playing them? I don't know. Storing them at house? Definitely not but a TH-cam video? For sure.
    They just look different maybe moreso compared to a board game than video game. The VHS systems also I am curious about. They just look odd.
