SHIT dude, that's fantastic. I got my Vectrex a couple years back for $300, and that didn't include any games other than Blitz or any overlays at all (although that did include shipping from California, and that's not exactly a cheap item to ship).

Son of a ...how the hell do you people keep finding these things? I haven't even seen one in person since the mid 80s. I wish one would just fall into my hands if anything just to enjoy Star Trek and the pack-in game just one more time. Great find.

I forgot, I remember enjoying Pole Position too back then. Amazing you got some carrying paddel box for it too, don't see that usually. There's some emulators out there for it I think, ios or whatever, and a crusty old DOS on from way back I think too. Better than nothing I suppose.

I gave up hunting and just went on eBay. Classic Game Room made my gamer envy too strong to resist any longer. Good decision as far as I'm concerned, too; I love having my Berzerk-and-friends box (since legit 90% of what I play on my Vectrex is Berzerk).

Thankfully after absorbing such loss a dozen years ago I can tolerate being without, though it does help never owning one plus only having a friend with one in the mid 80s so it's 30 years removed from my real use. The only one honestly that bugs me is the Duo, I miss that thing but I just can't blunt those prices on the games as it's ugly...and this is coming from someone who buys MVS carts for an Neo Geo arcade cabinet. The Duo games, some of the better stuff cost more than what I've put into the games I have which just bugs me.

It's why in those everdrive threads here and on neo geo forums I said if I ever get a Everdrive GBA the first thing going on there are the emulators -- PocketNES+Goomba Color+SMS Advance to cover my NES, GB+C and GG games but also PCE Advance as it not only plays any HuCard thrown at it but also CDs in ISO format. I'd rather load up a 32GB micro SD card than pay thousands to relive some memories of the 90s (especially when I'd guess I'd never commit to finishing almost any of them as my tolerances have changed a bit.)

I use the PC Engine emulator for Android. It's pretty legit.

Which one, did that Broglia guy (system.emu) guy make one of those too? After getting my neo geo cabinet back in May I paid for that one and it's fantastic.

Yes, I believe it's the same one.

The games are Scramble, Berzerk, Pole Position, and Spinball. Some of the overlays are cracked but they're all included. It cost me about $240 at a pawn shop near Emerald Isle.

You magnificent bastard!

Also, since I forgot to say this earlier, welcome to the Vectrex master race.

Nice pickup. That bag alone is worth a significant portion of what you paid.
