Heh, nice... I'd been thinking about a similar project for a while, but yours is now, and in video form, so it's automatically a lot better hah hah. So I had no worries about the quality, as I've watched many of your videos already. The only comments I could possibly make are: - Later versions of the Vectrex also have the bug fixed version of Minestorm present, which wasn't mentioned. - Glad to have been a part of moulding Vector Pilot into your favourite homebrew heh (some of the arcade accurate features and difficulty balancing were due to myself). - Harmagedon out of here. I kill me. - You could say a sentence containing the words "expensive" and "purchase", but in relation to something Mrs Roli buys heh... or does she not go for anything pricey at all?  - How many Kouso (Japanese) games do you own btw? "And I'm not kidding here!" - kids, don't try this at home |

This is great!
It's amazing how relatively obscure the Vectrex remains to be even though there is now so much information about it out there.
But, like our friend Roli, we must continue to get the word out there to help preserve this wonderful machine.
Vectrex... I just can't quit you.

Thanks! :-)
I own only very few Japanese games, but the others are not really special, only japanese manuals and japanese stickers on the boxes, that are the only differences.
I am sure also Mrs. VectrexRoli buys expensive stuff from time to time, so she will also have her "dirty little secrets" when it comes to that.

He should, it would only be fair  And yeah, the only two truly different Kouso games are Harmagedon and Scramble Wars, because the boxes and overlays are uniquely printed compared to the Western releases. I'm still not sure how I was able to get a full set, but this was back in a time when people were selling them more often on eBay. And they weren't stupidly expensive usually, I was paying $100-150 each for them complete. |

Trying to get Scramble Wars, that one I really would like to have. 100-150 USD is quite good. ;-)

Scramble Wars hasn't come up as often as Harmagedon. I like the German pronunciation of Harmagedon BTW.
