Here is something I would like to share with all those of you, who want to join me in feeling a bit like I felt on the morning of my birthday back in 1983, when I got my first Vectrex. Some days ago I bought another Vectrex. And it seems that I had some incredible luck with it:
Happy Cheers, Peer |

Looks like you transported it 19 years into the future and opened it during 2001: A Space Odyssey :-)
Nice find!

Wow, never seen the M. Storm instructions in German before  Interesting to see the "Micro Game" in there, along with the Passport seemingly to be the same as ours. |

EDIT: Typo! What I meant was not Dutch, but Danish. See also my next post below.

It's not German Both manuals are in Dutch. Sorry, typo. I did not mean Dutch, but Danish! Both manuals are in Danish.
And the Micro Game addresses are also both of towns located in Denmark. |

Thank you very much Peer! Would you mind if the community replicated your posting to other places? Such as the Facebook Group Vectrex Fan s Unite. Placed in the Files section of the group. Or other sites? |

I'm not going to twist your arm to do this, but I will suggest it as a fun project that you might enjoy doing... 1) mark off ticks round the circumference of your circular table at equally spaced intervals (ie equal angles) 2) place the table in a corner so that you can rotate it and be sure it only moves rotationally, not in x,y 3) set a camera on a tripod, place vectrex in center of table. 4) using alignment ticks and a fixed place where the table touches the wall, rotate the table one tick at a time, photographing the vectrex each time. (I.e. you've manually simulated a 3d capture turntable - and a lot more cheaply that one that would hold a vectrex! : www.xyzdisplays.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=dc00081 ) 5) Assemble photos into a video or gif animation! (optional: 6) feed photos to something like the free trial of Autodesk recap Photo and build a 3d model? ) regards, Graham |
