Woohoo!!!So I was out doing a spot of christmas shopping when I happened to walk past the retro gaming shop, and they only had the holy grail of retro gamers for sale in the window.
Needless to say I rushed to the bank, rushed back and bought the thing.
What is it?
It's a Vectrex.
This thing was out at around the same time as the Atari 2600 VCS and Mattel Intellivision, back in the very early 80s, and was only available in the uk for around a year... two years tops. To say examples in full working order in the uk are rare as hens teeth is something of an understatement. I've been looking for one at a sensible price for years.
It's got 9 games with it, including Mine Storm which comes built into the console, so though it wasn't cheap, it was a pretty fair deal (no I'm not telling you what I paid for it).
