Is the Vectrex worth collecting for.

[ATARI800XLfan]

I have recently found a fully working Vectrex from NY on ebay with 10 shipping. I live in Indiana. It has under a 2 days to go and is only up to 22 dollars. Is it worth it, what are your thoughts on the system. Thanks for your time.

Oh yeah! The ONLY Vector Based home system, it is unique.

I posted my three Vectrexs, collection and info at the Video Game Finds Thread.

I promise I'm not trying to be a jerk with this post, but anyway...

Many of your threads on here have been "should I buy/collect X". Don't buy things just because other people like them. Buy things because you are interested in the games on that particular system. Find reviews of the systems and games and see if they look fun or line up with things that you already like. Heck, try some games out on an emulator if they are an older system. Form your own opinion and get stuff that you're interested in, don't keep asking us if you should buy all of this stuff.

I never do fully understand why one posts threads like this. There are a lot of posts of someone on the fence in deciding to buy something. It creates discussion but usually a lot of repeats of individual favorites in buy a game or system.

@ ATARI800 - I do understand in this case on the Vectrex since it is one of the more obscure and expensive systems to get into though. Maybe go with Hobie's advice, research in multiple areas. Also use the SEARCH tool in the Forum for existing information.

@ Hobie - Your entire paragraph should really be Stickied!
