... and what would you'r best guess be as to the percentage of Vector games still in operation? Maybe 20% of the total number... maybe? If that... and then there is the thing about the incompatibility between the different manufacturers... between color/b&w... etc... etc... etc...

Exactly right ...
I have no doubt that there were hundreds of thousands of vector games on location.
If I choose my personal experience as a barometer (and I am willing to bet that I have seen more live vector cabs than most), then we are looking at less than a 10% survival rate.
Subtract from that the folks who wouldn't go for the VectorVGA (which is most, since Vector VGA has been around for years) and you end up with a number that is pretty damned small.
Not a new product and, while Xiaou2 may think otherwise, the market ended up being smaller than even the creator expected.

That was my first thought. Anyone heard from Dan/Jim/Errol lately? They have been mighty quiet here and on KLOV.
DashRendar:
I suspect he/they are still lurking, but probably not logged in. They must be trying to figure out their next move. :dizzy:
I did think it was interesting that Dan outed himself like that on the KLOV thread though.
