^Including Vectorion? I didn't like that arcade game that much, so that's one I'll probably skip of his. I'll probably get everything else though! Those wraps look really great and I have seen that there is also a part for the original controller. This would be a bit pointless in my case as I try to avoid using the original controller as it is complicated to open up and to repair, I only use that one for Star Sling, Spikes Circus and Hyberchase. I hear ya. If I ever get any wraps myself (Berzerk is a possibility), I don't use the original controller either. But then I might never put on the wraps anyway, I might just have them lying around to look at and admire! I find that somehow "scary" what I say now, but to buy those wraps just to have them and look at them makes totally sense to me and I find that even a great idea. Maybe I am just some kind of hoarder. Well it seems I still have to think about getting them.

Even though I can take them off as I see fit, I'm not one for putting them on my Vectrex (but then that idea might change after I see how cool it looks! You can't always tell how you're going to react to a certain situation unless you're in it!), plus I don't have a backup Vectrex. If I did and had the bucks to spend then I'd probably get an order in and put 'em on.

Except maybe that heh. I've played a lot of Galaxian and Time Pilot, so it felt comfortable commenting on how Kristoff's versions played. Likewise for Moon Patrol now, I've played that an awful lot too.

Carla Meninsky. It wasn't actually really known about 2600 Warlords being first until fairly recently when Carla did an interview for I forget which publication. It wasn't mentioned during the Once Upon Atari files (which I own on DVD). Today I randomly stumbled upon the convoluted history of warlords as told by Roger Hector who had the idea for what he called "Kings in the Corner" but was not involved in the game development at all. Interesting!

Wyldephang, here's a good list of what Retro Gamer magazine thinks is the 10 best games for the Vectrex. As with any "Top 10", "Top 50", "Top 100", or whatever list, it is a little controversial. Some games I would not include and Vector Pilot tends to be unanomously at the top of everyone's list, however it is missing. I understand that point of view, but those kinds of lists are absolutely invaluable to people like me who explore new and unfamiliar systems. It makes the whole process of finding great games easier because you're getting a sampling of the best the system has to offer. So, sure, if I do get a Vectrex, I'll be sure to poll this site for everyone's Top 10 lists. Looking away does not help, when a package arrives she can look directly into my soul and she knows everything. It is almost like her mind has direct access to my PayPal account! Ha! I had to respond to this one. My girlfriend and I have been dating for five years. I think I'll be sure to get most of my game collecting out of the way before we're married.

I added and slightly changed this poll title, as I came up with another one that I thought would be good for discussion as well: How do you display your VectrexMine's next to my Sega setup (Genesis + CD player). That's just for now though, as, after I move (dunno when that'll be though), I plan on having it by itself, sort of being on a pedestal that it deserves, so to say.
