Classic Game Room HD reviews the VECTREX video game console from GCE (General Consumer Electric) from 1982. The Vectrex is unique in that is plays video games on its own screen with vector based graphics giving a very crisp image that fans of old school games from the late 70′s and early 80′s should enjoy. The Vectrex has some excellent games like Berzerk and Scramble, but not as many as the venerable Atari 2600 or ColecoVision. New games are being released for the Vectrex from homebrew developers and the game system is surprisingly easy to find and collect today thanks to eBay. Vectrex games come with an overlay that fits over the screen and gives a splash of color and lists the controls. Classic Game Room HD reviews new and classic games, we’re now adding Vectrex video game reviews to the video game review show. For retro gaming fans and old school gamers the Vectrex is a unique and fun collectible that takes up a bit of space but it’s worth it!

@StufferzReality and a Wii, and especially a PS3, o, it does get owned by the philips CD-i…
The coolest thing on the planet would be the vectrex, a flamethrower and boom box robot combined.
I remember renting it back in the day and was blown away by it!
All the games were very fluid and quite challenging.
Loved this machine!
300$ is cheep?
the vectrex startup sound has been proven more effective to heal people than chuck norris’s breath
The vectrex is the future of gaming =D
“you just need an extension cord.” lol
What I’d like to know is how everything seen in the video is brand new in the box.
Mark must just be that awesome. Because the Vectrex is.
i love the vectrex i want one always but they are €170,-
at 6:24 it looks like spongebob and patrick chasing a jelly fish
@RetroGamer1000 i really hope your jokeing
Review Star Trek!
Berzerk 2 was an unreleased prototype
Berzerk looks really good on the Vectrex compared to the Atari 2600. Ive got it for the 2600.
armor attack was an amazing game
@RetroGamer1000 at 60 fps
its a penis space ship shooting loads
I just picked one of these up today with 4 boxed games for $10 at value village (Canada) I didn’t know what the heck it was. I never heard of one. So I bought it and it’s just like new and works awesome!!! Alot of retro fun
Lord Karnage has a few thousand Vectrexes.
The reason is that after turning on, the Vectrex shuts down because it is afraid of his awesomeness.
I LOVE Vectrex graphics because of the glowing, neon-like lines every game has, and this game looks AWESOME.
If only every bar had a VECTREX? What a wonderful world it would be…
God has a special place for the VECTREX!!!
@RetroGamer1000 No, because is that awesome it destroy the disc!! :O
who needs an manual ?
Will it run Crysis?
