Vectrex iOS Review (iPad)

The Vectrex home console was a bit of an anomaly back in the early 80s, with it's vector based graphics, built in TV and analog joysticks. Now, that classic & rare console has been lovingly brought to the iOS platform along with many of the games. I review the iPad version along with the iCade and come away impressed!

If you have problems starting it up, it's because your iPad is jailbroken...

Nice review. How did you record the bits showing just the screen?

He wouldn't listen, he ignores everyone. I might be the only one in the world who doesn't care for the guy.

I use a program called Reflector, which does AirPlay mirroring and captures anything you send to it. Very handy for iPhone & iPad reviews!

He has so many subscribers on YouTube, he probably get 400 new emails a day! He probably can't respond to a 10th of them... that would be my guess.

Love his show, but dang the guy must be busy as hell. Between CGR & CGRUndertow there's like 5 new videos a day.

BTW, great Vectrex IOS review. Whenever I finally upgrade, I'll be sure to pick this up and the Icade.
