Modding a Vectrex
Matthew Fisher:
Debris info at
www.vectrexnews.com
(I'm having a hard time getting to it at the moment.)
VecFlash info at
www.vectrex.biz
If you sold your multicart on ebay you could probably buy at least two VecFlashes, which, IMO, seem a lot more useful.

But what if you had... TWO? :)

I should have seen that coming. :P
ChadTower:
So, found some info on RGV... but it just points you to vectrexnews, which is of course down, and it looks like Debris may be sold out already. Dammit.
RandyT:
It would be nice if there were another way than modding the poor old Vectrex's. There are so few of them left out there.
What someone needs to do is find a source for nice, hi-res monochrome monitors to crank the brightness up on and use an emulator with.
At 1024x768, the resolution is very "vector-like" and the fact that there is no aperture grill helps to complete the illusion. I had a chance to get a ton of 9" mono monitors a few years back and turned them down (stupid...stupid...stupid...)

Rape all your old VTs! ;D
Maybe some old oscilloscopes, though those cost a LOT more than Vectrexes.
