[ line for Fingle's imp of perversity ] I went to my nearest Sears department store and noticed that they are carrying a large line of Vectrex cartrages. Being a new and proud owner of a Vectrex (with a limited budget), I was hoping other owners who have them could give some more reviews like the ones about Spinball and Web Wars we saw a while back. Some of these new cartrages (at least to me anyway) are: Nazarod (or something like that) Spike (a talking game) And how about some feedback on the lightpen cartrages Melody Master and AnimAction ? Who actually has seen the 3D imager ? What did you think of it ? Also, I live in the Boston 128/93 area, so does anyone know where I could get Vectrex cartrages cheaper than at Sears (they want $32-37 apiece) ? This request also includes any good deal from mail order places, I'm not fussy, just a prudent shopper. Now on a side note, for all you Vectrex lovers out there, Milton Bradley who bought out GCE is not too pleased with the response of the market place with the Vectrex. It seems that the stores aren't pushing it (Hell, they are not even turning the machine on !) and they're losing Mucho bucks on it. So if you want the Vectrex to stick around, I would suggest that WE the owners start writing to MB to say how much we like it, and that the audiencethat they should be aiming for is a more educated and (hopefully) wealthy one. We should also tell them to get of their asses and come out with the Keyboard. Its very frustrating having that machine and not being able to get into it without ripping its guts out !)
