Are you making new constellations now? :D

Yes, actually. I just need to think of a way to get them into the sky!

You can always try changing the sky's location. Might make it easier to get them there if the sky is in your backyard!

Well it's in my backyard- I just can't reach it!

You own a Vectrex?

If I'm not the coolest kid on the block I don't know what cool is. ;D

Retro electronics are sooo hipster!

You bet your Asteroids! :D

I never had a Vectrex but my uncle has one and oh, did I play on it when I was a kid ^^ It would be so über cool to own one by myself too :P
Huh, I make much more clerical errors with my "new" keyboard than before.. fortunately I always read my text throught before publishing it :D

It's quite a nifty little machine. I got mine on Ebay on impulse and don't regret it.
And that's more than I can say I do!

Wasn't it pricey? How much you have games on it? :) I only have Vectrex emulator..

I paid a little more than I probably should have... But it came with 15 games with all their overlays, a couple of controllers and the original lightpen. One of the controllers had a joystick problem I since fixed and added a custom Princess Luna label since the original didn't survive. And I got a 60 in 1 multicart later. It has all of the originally released games except Animaction which I have anyway, one or two prototypes and a handful of homebrews and demos. I would have prefered a flash cart to upload the ROMs you want right to it but bidding on them can get a little crazy. I also have a voice module that works for both the Vectrex and the old Atari consoles but not many games support it.

Wow :3 All overlays within, that's great! :D And 2 controllers and lightpen! My uncle has only one controller (what a shame) and no lightpen at all.

And that Princess Luna label is just awesome!

Oh, do I envy you! >:3

I've seen how you could fashion your own lightpen if you are handy with a soldering iron, but then you still need to track down the art programs! I was going to do some animated Vectrex shorts but I never did. Animaction, in particular, is not exactly very intuitive.
