    Default Found a Vectrex, was this a good find?

    I got this at a garage sale for $2. It's only the unit and the overlay for the builtin game. The lady selling it couldn't find any games for it. Are there any good games I should be on the look out for it? I picked this up since this is the first time I've actually seen one. I'll probably keep an eye out for games, but I doubt I'll find any out here in the Midwest.

    $2.00? Yeah, I would say that's a great find.

    Yeah I would have probably payed two bucks for it even if it was broke. Congrats on the great find.

    The Vectrex is an awesome system, even if you didn't get it for a song. 50 bucks would have still be a good price. Controllers sell for about 20 bucks by themselves. Just about every game is good for it and new games are coming out all the time. Watch for Joust Evolution to come out. Get yourself Armor Attack, Narzod, and Scramble, they're some of the most common games and not very expensive.

    Default Good Deal

    Well done friend...
    I have 3 Vectrexes here at home....the least I paid for mine (the 3rd one) was $50.
    I have (but not actually posted) a handful of Vectrex games ForSale if you are interested. Some are even new in the box.
    PM me if interested.
    Take care,

    Yes! I would have paid that for it! Heck, I'd have paid $15 for it!
