4Pickups #4 - Vectrex - (Milton Bradley) Gaming Console
Welcome back to the channel guys. In this video I show you my recent pickup of this fantastic console, the Vectrex. The Vectrex is a vector display-based home video game console developed by Smith Engineering. It was first released for North America in 1982 and for both Europe and Japan in 1983. Originally manufactured by General Computer Electronics, it was licensed to Milton Bradley after they acquired the company. Bandai released the system in Japan.
In contrast to other video game systems available at the time, the Vectrex uses a monochrome CRT monitor, capable of displaying vector graphics, without need to be hooked up to a television set. The control pad is mounted to the base of the console, and is detachable. Games came with color overlays to compensate for the monochrome screen. The system also comes with a built-in game, Mine Storm, playable if a cartridge is absent.
I plan to feature more videos on the Vectrex in the future, as well as further pickup videos.
