^Wow! Only been a few years since I played arcade Tetris at a gaming expo.
Playing Vectrexians myself right now. Made it to level 16 today. Don't know if I'll end up beating it on easy or not.

Well, I'm not playing it but my mother (85) has finally got her old NES running again. It has been lost for a few years but when I visited recently I found it and got it to work. So now she's enjoying Super Mario and Ice Climber

Wow, I take it she's been a gamer for quite a while?

Not really a "gamer" but she's always been playing/trying the things the family had, pong, c64, spectrum, vectrex, SVI and sega 8/16. This one I think my parents bought at the end of the NES era on a clearance or something.. Guess it has been in that cupboard for a good 10 years or so

So now she's enjoying Super Mario and Ice Climber That's cool! My mother's never been into gaming, so the best we could do was get her to play Tetris occasionally (the original casual gamer's "killer app").

When my Dad brought home a Vectrex he played with me for a bit but never touched it again. My mom saw me playing with it once and told me to stop watching TV and go outside. Times have surely changed.

I’ve been playing a lot of Arcade games on my Mister, and incidentally a lot of Vectrex. I’ve also been trying to keep up with the High Score Club on Atariage for the 2600. The current game is Vanguard, and has been a lot of fun. Does the Vectrex have a high score club? If not I think it should.
I’ve been playing a lot of Gyruss, Sinistar , and Robotron.

What's a Mister? Vanguard was a pretty different game when it came out; actually there still might not be anything like it to this day. Does the Vectrex have a high score club? If not I think it should. If you mean Atari Age I don't think so. Here we've got the Vector War.
