This week we talk about the 1980s all-in-one console, The Vectrex. We talk about its development, the hardware, the games and of course what the Vectrex is up to now (more then you expect). Jonathan from Rotting Flesh Radio is back this week with a Retro Rewind. Just a reminder to drop by our official forums to discuss the Vectrex. You can find the forums at http://www.retroist.com/forum/.
The above art was again provided by Artist/Illustrator Christopher Tupa. To see more of Christopher’s work, drop by his website at http://www.ctupa.com. You can see all this work for the Retroist Podcast at The Art of the Retroist Podcast. You can also catch our collaborative effort “The Bike Patrol” at http://www.thebikepatrol.net.

Your enthusiasm for the system was contagious and I moved up the date of the podcast because of it. Cannot wait to read you reviews in the games section.
Tupa’s illustration might make a sweet avatar for your new handle.
