Vectrex homebrews...

[AnOldCabinet]

Managed to pick up a Vectrex recently at a good price.. know there is an overlap with arcade types here... so just wondering which of the homebrews would people recommend?

Have eye on Vector Pilot, Vyzron, Hera Primera so far.

Protector is a phenomenal achievement. It plays as well as a real Defender imho.

Vector Patrol, Vectorblade, Vectrexians... there's loads of great homebrew on Vectrex. Best to get a flashcart as many are free to download, like Malban's games. Karl Quappe is a great version of Frogger, uh, there's too many to list. 😀

Don't forget Y.A.S.I. - Yet another Space Invaders! - a really faithful adaptation of the original. Even better if you have the VecVox speech cart

Hi folks, this is about home brew games for the Vectrex machine right? I was wondering if there are any hardware projects to, for example, hack a standard television CRT display to work like a Vectrex, has anyone heard about anything like that?

Any recommendations on flashcarts?
