The 1982 Vectrex

So, what is it we have here? Why, it's a lovely Vectrex auction by a seller who is willing to ship worldwide. How very lovely; how very odd. What's more, this amazing and utterly unique vector-based console comes complete with two of its analog controllers and 8 lovely games (besides the built-in Minestorm), among which you'll be happy to discover Pole Position, Berzerk and Rip Off.

  1. TWO controllers! Controllers are rarer than the consoles these days.

  4. Yes, you did mention that and I do believe I proposed an all-out invasion of auntie's place. A Vectrex is a dear thing...
