Classic Game Room - VECTREXIANS review for Vectrex

[@Mappy1964]

Great to see classic console programs still at it! Keep on rocking!

[@NMV-eq5jt]

"Hey you look nice in that dress, but not as nice as vectrexians." That is by far the best quote I've ever heard.

[@Slowner44]

I used to watch your stuff all the time, Mark. Unfortunately, I had to take a break from the hardcore retro gaming thing for a while, and I have since started to get back in to it (starting with the vectrex). I must say, I love all your reviews and pretty much everything you post. I forgot how entertaining and funny these videos are. It's good to be back. :)

[@Poopishification]

I dunno why but whenever i watch a commentary from this guy, cant stop smiling. Youre awesome man.

[@Bender4411]

I love all the stock music he always uses. This man is brilliant.

[@theawesomegamr]

SWEET! I LOVE THE VECTREX SO GLAD U MADE A REVIEW OF THIS!!!!! UR AWESOME!

[@HANKSPOOP]

galaxian is my favorite arcade game. i love the vectrex. this made me so happy when i found out it existed. (also, love how you have an actual galaxian machine in the background of this video)

[@dave4shmups]

Awesome! They certainly nailed the sound effects from Galaxian! I LOVE that intro screen!!

[@GhostnZombies]

Seriously love the Vectrex! Forget ps4 or xboxone, buy a Vectrex !

[@Dukefazon]

It's nice to see new games on really-really old systems.

[@walidb123]

Such nice vector graphics from such an old machine. Amazing.

[@marvelmania7283]

Mark, you know that this cornflakes cartboard thing around the edges of the box is removable? I own "vector pilot" by Mr. Tuts from Belgium and I freaking love it. The production values are insane. 3 overlays? HELL YES!

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

Finally!! A Vectrex homebrew review!! This calls for some Vector Pilot, Protector/YASI, Moon Lander, Gravitrex, Space Frenzy, War of the Worlds, Sundance.... There are way too many titles that rival the classic Vectrex releases.

[@MrSEA-ok2ll]

I would love to see Major Havoc, classic Star Trek on the Vectrex and Star Wars arcade.

[@NellieKAdaba]

Belgium is my country, it's great that the game was released there, while I live in the US since 1994 (age 13) to the present.

[@Retrogamer71]

Impressive, makes you wish it was on the Vextrex in 1982. Vector Pilot deserves Mr. Busslers attention.

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

I miss this show so much.

[@Adamchevy]

Vectrexians!!! Right on Mark! If you only still made KZbin Videos!

[@Adamchevy]

Kristof is a Genius!

[@temujin1234]

It's crazy that people are still making games for these consoles. Neat to see though.

[@lordkaicer]

I love too see indi developers are still making games for retro consoles.

[@batista294]

YES! another vectrex review!

[@Bizarrix]

I want to play that game!It´s awesome...and look at those old arcade games...

[@seriouskano2]

Thumbs up for Jörg and for Marc pronouncing his name properly.

[@oejam]

Love to be a Belgian, we have the best beers in the world and on top of that, we make VECTREX games :)

[@Adamchevy]

Have you Played Vector Patrol yet Mark? I highly recommend giving that one a play!!!!

[@MisterDearly]

You know what'd blow my mind? Vectraga! A Galaga derivative for the Vectrex. Galaga's my favorite early shooter arcade game, and still in my top 3 favorite arcade games of all time. Galaxian is great, but Galaga's even better!

[@BrianPicchi]

Yes, Yes! More, More!!

[@SakuraAvalon]

Mark, I'm having trouble fitting the windmill into my bed room, is there a way to fix this?

[@amakeleven]

We need to get this guy a Vectrex t-shirt or something.

[@dunnono00]

Pier Solar for the Genesis sounds like a great idea for a review. Although, I don't know if it's sold anymore or not.

[@modinformer]

7 power cables and an additional windmill. Made. My. Day.

[@KuraIthys]

I was just thinking the same thing. It's been done before. I lose track of just how many 3rd party consoles have been created to play Mega Drive, NES and Snes games... Why not a vextrex replica at the very least? Granted vector CRT displays are hard to come by now, but if worst comes to worst, I doubt the processing power needed to emulate a vector display using an LCD is costly. (Any PC since about 1990 has enough processing power.) - You could even emulate the overlays if you had to...

[@nonlegend]

ebay, some notable ones are Last Hope, Dux, and Fast Strikers. i would also note that they can get rather pricey because of there limited production and sot after by collectors

[@shleeve]

awesome! my neighbor had one of these i always thought it was super rad

[@knaagi]

The hit detection works. At least on my Consoles. Maybe it differs from machine to machine depending on their aging or it´s just the recording here.

[@garion333]

Cool, but if you're gonna homebrew games for the Vectrex I would like to see games that take advantage of it a bit more since it's so damn rare to see new Vectrex games (on CGR).

[@Vokoca]

I had it when I was in Belgium. Good beer. :)

[@kilikman]

But Mark. If we can make the Vectrex CD with the 32x attachment real by imagining it really hard. Then couldn't we also just imagine Vectrexians 2 into existence?

[@Scioneer]

The heck with the Vectrex with 32x CD addon, I have a Vectrex Turbo Duo!

[@hristaki99]

I saw a 3D test on a Vectrex and it can render up to 30 3D shapes at once. They should make Doom for Vectrex.

[@eas900s]

what is the background music you added to the video

[@Noqism]

I would love to see a bullet hell game on the vectrex. Considering the one color display, that kind of game would be insane hard. :D

[@arcticridge]

THAT SONG IS SO AWESOME! WE NEED DOWNLOAD NOOOOOOOOOOOW

[@AaronTheLuigi]

I'd like to see a Vectrex Collection released on today's consoles. Preferably with backwards compatibility with the Vectrex.

[@WHATISUTUBE]

Gonna need that song, Mark

[@badfish89]

What's r name of the song at 3:53? I've heard before in other reviews.

[@denBlackie]

From Belgium ! I have 3x vectrex in my game room, needs more though :)

[@DourvasBros]

WHATS the music on 3.53 ? anyone please?

[@smurdd]

it is still sold. they just ran out of the third run I think. but shouldn't be long till you can order again.

[@russelljwr]

If it is on the Vectrex you must own it!!

[@celendzeris1]

FINALY SOME CGR GOODNESS!

[@JohnSTF72]

They should re-release Vectrex together with a cartridge containing the best games (or maybe all the games if possible).It should be a relative hit, since the Vectrex a still a unique console.

[@domstrum5358]

Where does one get this?

[@BAZFANSHOTHITSClassicTunes]

Galaxian looks awesome.

[@bwc1976]

Keeping up with the Vectrexians!

[@whodatninja439]

3:52 for pimpin music!

[@The_Creative_Workshop]

You need to review the 3d headset for the vectrex

[@ImmortalInflames]

Wtb 28.8k modem for my vectrex so I can get DLC overlay upgrade mailed to me! Seriously though.. Can you imagine if Vectrex did get a modem.. oh baby!!

[@1985SwimmingChamp]

Battlezone would be great! Saw Starfire but wasn't too impressed sadly

[@Retrogamer71]

Battlefield 3 borrowed that Vectrexians buzzing sound. Nice, a Blackhole Pinball machine in the Background!

[@MegaCellProductions]

Does anyone know where I can get home-brew games for the Dreamcast?

[@MunkFano1]

can someone tell me the name of the song at 3:53 ?

[@bytex666]

Why does it seem like half of the shots go through the enemies?

[@Dancingcuban]

It's like people are making games specifically for him now.

[@yandman26]

Ahh man I now want one of these things and I don't really even know why , my biggest , obvious flaw: why didn't they shape it housing a little more like an arcade cabinet , that would of ruled ,p.s I spend most of my spare time building arcades so ignore me

[@PM2126]

you're a mad man sir : )

[@thrillynewt]

2007? So DOES this support VectrexLive?

[@StupidKidPeople0]

i've been waiting 100 years for a vextrex 2 we probobly won't get it soon.

[@vectrexmad]

Check out Kristof's Vector Pilot - its the best game ever on the Vectrex.

[@georgepatton8693]

now this is more like it!

[@mobobber]

It wouldn't be Call of Duty Black Opsians, it'd be: Call of Vectexians: Vec Ops.

[@OriginalName90]

I actually misheard you and thought the name of the company was "Truxtonic". This comment is being typed by my ghost, obviously, since the rest of me had a fatal heart-attack. Thanks, Mark!

[@michaeljacksoned]

Vectrexians. Sounds like a good word for CGR fans.

[@JasuchinFaron]

We don't need it yet, we can still make games for the Vectrex

[@Steelback70]

Why is there no Vectrex Donkey Kong?

[@digioverlord]

sure to god they can bring the vectrex out again? i mean they brought out countless megadrive and atari consoles so why not one of these?

[@jbmaru]

Mark you should review Zaku for the Lynx and Pier Solar for the Genesis. Please Mohammed from Qatar, send that stuff to him.

[@1985SwimmingChamp]

when is there going to be a port of Starwars to the Vectrex... surely thats a kickstarter waiting to happen!

[@Noqism]

Could be :D Still, I think it would be a cool, challenging game :)

[@smurdd]

review Pier Solar for the genesis, its new!

[@russelljwr]

so true

[@WhatThePresidentSays]

this is where dubstep was born

[@MrMighty95]

Whats next ? Left for dead on vectrex ??

[@WhatThePresidentSays]

can it play battlefield 3?

[@RombusEvilBones]

some shoots go straight trhough the aliens lol

[@jeffyj1000]

they should make a lord carnage game. have him drivin around in hotwheels conquering volcanos

[@digerman3]

i hope some on can make a Red Dwarf Game for the vectrex a old school show need a Game on the Vectrex

[@jonhc1650]

Vectrex.... nice. :)

[@nonlegend]

someone should send mark the vectrex 3d goggles. so that he could ware them for every future review.

[@z1ggystardust1]

it's stock music. mark uses it all the time. if you watch the "cgr buys a sega saturn" video you can see he has a ton of generic stock music

[@MrJanic14]

Great a Belgian game. Can I offer you one of the best Belgian beers: Duvel? ;)

[@DourvasBros]

can i PLEASE get the name of the 3:53 song ? i BEG you classic game room ! please thumbs up this comment so we get the name of the music

[@GreenChillZone]

@fingrid There is.

[@DonKael]

Mark, we don't need the Call of Duty milk cow ruining the Vectrex's perfect reputation!

[@mini-_]

You out of your mind? It's gold in liquid form in a freakin' bottle!

[@GreenChillZone]

@back2own100 Because a lot of old games are fun? He plays new games too.

[@The_Laser_Channel]

Call of Doody, MW3, BF3 are going to die out...when the next Call of Doody game comes out....and once the next Xbox comes out, they'll end up shutting down the servers for the current games....however, all these older games, you can play it in single-player mode and it'd be just as fun w/o depending on a server....I can still play Super Mario Bros. exactly as it was when it came out, some games 20 years after SMB that rely on internet are now dead....

[@c00kiemonsder]

where's the VECTREX 2? We have holograms, we have the technology, WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY!

[@flooblr]

The iPad is the spiritual successor to the Vectrex, isn't it obvious?
