I'm looking at getting some games for the Vectrex. I found some info on multicarts. Does anyone have this? Also what other classic systems do you own?

worse than that I still have pong....now does anyone remeber that :rolleyes:
it had only four or five types of pong on it and that's it....and you couldn't add anything else to this game consule (this was before game cartriges)

PS2

There is a Vectrex emulator, but it's for DOS so it might not work in XP. I've never tried it.

A Vectrex emulator would not be the same because it can't emulate true vector graphics.

I know what you're saying, but I disagree. MAME is an arcade machine emulator and it plays vector games like Asteroids and Tempest perfectly. But like I said, I haven't tried the Vectrex one so I don't know for sure how good it looks. You could at least use the emulator to see what games were available and how good they were, then search for the actual cart on Google or eBay.

Yea I found a mult-cart site here (http://home.xnet.com/~skelly/vmulti.htm). It's only missing one game. I'll try that first.

Also an emulator on a computer would have anti-aliasing issues (like a PS2).
NO JAGGIES on the Vectrex
