Vectrex poll: how you rank yourself as a collector (+1)

[VectorX]

I'm not much for posting about new stuff on the wiki unless it's something big, but I thought this would be fun to do in regards to voting and talking about this subject here.

Everyone should be able to vote regardless if they have a Wikia account or not as to how you rank yourself as a Vectrex collector.

I chose the second highest vote, as I have nearly 50 games, but most of those are homebrews/multicarts, as I don't have a lot of the original games from back in the day (yet!). I also still have my Vectrex box and all paperwork with it, along with one of the closeout mailouts from the Triton electronics company from back in the day, along with the new Mateos burner/flashcart, the AtariVox+, and modern day converted controllers, along with another thing or two I'm probably forgetting off the top of my head.

Hmm, I need to check this out but I'll have to use my inventory to figure out where I fit.

[VectorX]

It could be worse: if Mayhem were to go into his in detail it'd take him half a day to write it all out

I guess I'm a King Pimp. All but a couple complete original games, 3 systems, several multicarts, one of each of Michele's wraps on the way, all of John, Mark, Kristoff and Martjin's games, the Vectorzoa games, most of George's games including Hexed!, Debris LE, Spinnerama, Omega Chase CE, Vix/Tsunami CE, City Bomber, Mail Plane, VecVox+, one of Mark's custom arcade sticks, several of my own variations on arcade sticks, several of my own designs on overlays and reproduction overlays and several custom carts.

^Now lets hear you say all that out loud in one breath

"I only have a fair amount of stuff, but it grows!" ^^
That's mine

[Mayhem]

Erm yeah... everything bar Mr Boston heh... well, that's makes listing easy!

[TrekMD]

I put myself in the second level. I have 58 items, including original games, homebrews, 3D Imager, and Light Pen. Never mind some of the "homebrew" controllers.

[centaura]

"A fair amount of stuff", but only 7 boxed original games
I have the madtronix 3D imager, the Light Pen and its cartridges.
Aside that, only a Vector Pilot, Vectrom and Andrew´s 72-multi, and several modern roms into the jfmateos carts.

My first point was provide a second controller to each of my three vectrex.

P.D. I have a pair of nanny´s dustcovers ...likely my most "exotic" stuff XD (and the V-Frogger overlay, maybe)

Ah well; like me, you'll get more in time The only boxed one I have now is Spike; I lost all my others years ago (with instructions), unfortunately

I really like that overlay.

[xefned]

LOL! "Everything but Mr. Boston" is faster, but much more jaw-dropping than a description of my collection.

I answered falsely "fair but growing" which is truthfully "few" but growing. But my newfound Vectrex enthusiasm will even that out in time...

[VectorX]

^Oh well, on an earlier poll I had voted for not having anything very rare, Vectrex-wise, but then I remembered later I have the box for mine, which boxes for any video game-related thing 20 or more years later are fairly rare.

[Luitoine]

I also voted "I only have a fair amount of stuff, but it grows!"
You can see my collection here, and it is not very big
(But I have 2 controllers for multiplayer and I'm patiently looking for some games I'd like to have, like WebWars(p) )

[kokovec]

Does stuff that I built count?
If not I have quite a few boxed games, 2 Vectrex units, a few controllers, a Mark Shaker multicart (the original) and some nicknacks.
I have a Vectrex coffee mug as well but it's not really a collectible.

Yeah, that was something I should have included as a voting option. Hindsight...
