Right at the entrance a while interesting, but (I believe) unanswerable question.
Because “Vectrex” is an artificial name for a particular thing. Depending on, to what we expect in the thing, one has a male, female or neutral Vectrex: The game computer, game console, the device. Continue reading
Currently I see almost every night with my daughter Sandman. Directly in front of Sandman comes some self-promotion of KiKA and as it is with cute child's voice: “…and visited us at enemenebu.de, because there's the information and the address from KiKA!“.
The address of the Vectrex I do not unfortunately offer, well but Learn to Vectrex. Prepared in the form of questions and answers found here interesting facts. Gradually over time so many things will be added.
course you can post a comment on this post log, that would interest you and / or yet to be taken and should answer as a question or topic.
Have fun while reading!

Vectrex- and Retro players currently come fully at their expense: After this “Galaxy Legacy” have on 26. January four-week “Speedweeks” started. They will play various racing games such as Indy 500, Pole Position or Outrun – Of course on retro consoles such as the Atari consoles (2600, 5200, 7800), the NES, the ColecoVision and some more.
The Vectrex is at the Speed Weeks with the racing game “Hyperchase” there. A fastest possible lap time for the game 1 (Game 1) must be earned. Very good to play 1 is, that after ca. 2 to 3 is minutes a lap, a game by. So you can portioning playing time good and sometimes just turn 'a fast lap.
Three Tips for Hyper Chase:

From 1. January to 1. February at the Games competition “Galaxian Legacy” instead of. The competition is organized by Rob Maerz, Author and operator of the online magazine “Retrocade Magazine” organized. Played the game “Galaxian” on various retro consoles, including the Atari 2600, NES and the Vectrex.
is on the Vectrex Vectrexians, of the 
in 2007 published for the Vectrex Galaxian clone, play. As in all Galaxian reactions of the players in Vectrexians fighting groups of strangers, which are somewhat reminiscent of insects. The aliens attack the player's spaceship to individually or in combination and bombard it. Im Video-Review von Classic Game Room get a good impression of the game.
Who should not be in possession of Vectrexians, can the game directly from the Developers Kristof Tuts For 40 EUR (plus. 6,50 EUR Shipping to Germany) to order. The price of 40 EUR seems high, therefore a few words: The many hours carefully converted and very well playable Vectrexians comes as play module in a box, Recently manual and with film (Overlay). The film was printed by screen printing on two sides and has the highest print quality. Finally you with buying Vectrexians supports the development of retro titles. Bottom line, a good investment.

at “Vectrex Regeneration” I think somehow on vacation and Wellness. This developed by Rantmedia and today released app has but little to do:
Vectrex Regeneration is essentially an emulator for IOS, allows playing Vectrex games on the iPhone or iPad. To the emulator around the player a sophisticated foil made user interface is offered: The player can be in a virtual room (see screenshot on the left) look around and pick up the game title by tapping off the shelf and start playing. High Scores are displayed on a chalkboard, also made nice and appealing. Im Video of Rantmedia you can see that everything was very good.
The app can be found in iTunes easily under the name “Vectrex Regeneration” to download. The app itself is free and includes Minestorm and games War of the Robots, Vector 21 and Continuum of George Pelonis. The Mega Pack with the original titles Armor Attack, Bedlam, Berzerk, Blitz!, Cosmic Chasm, Fortress Of Narzod, Heads Up, Hyper Chase, Pole Position, Rip Off, Scramble, Solar Quest, Spike, Star Castle, Star Ship, Star Hawk and Web Wars suggests again with 6,99 USD (that. 5,40 EUR) to book.
How well Vectrex Regeneration on the iPhone, iPad or even on an iPad with iCade plays I can not say for lack of equipment. But the iPhone is likely to be small because of the control. Note, that an iPhone 4 or new or. iPad 2 or later is required.
Interestingly, the project is but all and for Vectrex lovers with iPhone or iPad is to download and try out the free app with Minestorm almost a must. An implementation for Android is scheduled according to the manufacturer Rantmedia. Then I'll be there…
