Those games really do emphasize the strength of the arcade machine. I love vector graphics. A few years ago, I picked up a Vectrex system with plans to get it working, but wasn't able to and eventually gave it up for parts. I regret that.

I feel you! One of my best friends had a Vectrex growing up. One day he decided to do a big purge of his clutter and threw it out. Most of my retro computer / console collection is a result of friends gifting me their old stuff, knowing I’m into that stuff. Unfortunately I hadn’t made it clear I had dibs if he ever wanted to get rid of it and that perfectly working Vectrex is no more.

Wow, that hurts to hear. Hopefully someone walked by and scooped it up. I hate the idea that something so beautiful was just destroyed.
