With the demise of Vectrex, my wife and I are trying to determine the complete list of releases. MAIL PLANE (for the light pen), 3-D POLE POSITION, DARK TOWER and BATTER-UP all appeared in one catalogue or another; were they actually released? Also, did the keyboard ever appear? For anyone interested in purchasing the system, Child World is selling the machine for $40 and cartridges for $5. Toys R Us sells the cartridges for $7. We've seen various Sears selling the machine for $99 and $60, and cartridges from $15 to list price. There is very little duplication in the offerings of the different stores, at least so far. What follows is a list of all the cartridges we have seen thus far. Are there any others? Thank you for you help. Fortress of Nazrod Space Wars Armor Attack Cosmic Chasm Pole Position Starhawk Star Trek Spike Ripoff Web Wars Clean Sweep Polar Rescue Blitz Bedlam Hyperchase Spinball Scramble Star Castle Berzerk Solar Quest Heads Up Soccer For the light pen: Melody Master, Animaction, Art Master For the 3-D goggles: Crazy Coaster, Narrow Escape, 3-D Mine Storm Note that some of the above (such as Web Wars) never appeared in any catalogue, which makes us wonder what else might be out. Web Wars, by the way, is a wonderful game with amazing graphics and is (to us) worth the price of the system.

Would the person who sent me a request for a summation of replies to my
Vectrex cartridge request posting please send me his address again? My
mail on the machine that you responded to (samson%h-sc1@harvard) sometimes
gets wiped before I get to save it because I have very limited disk space
there. Please send the mail to gts@wjh12, as specified below, OK?
Summation so far: there still may be hope from Triton Products Co. in
CA. Their toll-free number is 800-227-6900, and they
are a subsidiary of Electronics Direct Order Center.
(Thanks to Tom Butler @ihu1e...)
