Episode Details

Just as the videogame industry began to implode in North America, Milton Bradley set out to try and grab a piece of the pie by buying the rights to the Vectrex console from General Consumer Electronics. Chris, Jesse, Michiel and Dean Swain from the Retro Asylum podcast explore their experiences with the machine as well as the huge roster of 28 games that was released for it. Officially at least. Other topics covered include unofficial mods to the Vectrex, what marks the machine out as being unique, and why it deserves our attention.
