Lucked in to a free vectrex. Came with scrambler. What games should I get? Are any of the games improved by the overlays? I don't like the scrambler one.
>>
You know there's a built in Asteroids clone too right? Scrambler is great why don't you like the overlay? Some add more though.

Any, except the football one, you should especially try Spike, Hyper Chase, Dark Tower (if you can) and Web Wars. Overlays do give some games a nicer feeling but it really depends

Get a multicart with everything. Some overlays are good. Scramble isn't one of them. Armor Attack on the other hand is great. You can play without the overlay and have the Vectrex draw the map or turn that off and use the overlay to have it look just like the arcade version.

I ordered the 72 in 1 cart from the UK today. I want to buy real copies of anything worth having the overlay for. Sounds like armor attack might be a fun one to get that way.

Not that impressed with the built in mines game, but maybe because I suck too much to get past level 3.

You can make/buy overlay reproductions.
Armor attack isn't a great game. It's just a good example of how overlays can work well because the original arcade version used an overlay as well.

Armor Attack is great especially with two players. My favorite is Cosmic Chasm which has a pretty neat ovelay but doesn't really add a whole lot. I think Bedlam has my favorite overlay.

It's meh. What really impressed me on the vectrex is racing shit. The smoothness compared to the shit on raster games is inconceivable.

How did you get this Vectrex for free?

Please give me tips on how to get free consoles and save hundreds.

Wait for people to die and then help their wife clean up the house. I've been told there are several more video game machines in the house but we haven't found them yet.

>>3797568
I just watched the original total recall the other day, are those fucking vetrix screens I'm seeing in almost every scene with a monitor?
