Vectrex is set to go for UC ’09

As I did last year, I have gotten the Vectrex ready to go first, as it is the easiest system to get prepared. That fact that it is an all-in-one console sure helps! :P I will be using the VecFlash for most of the show, even though I'm disappointed in the fact that some games just would not play with this programmable multi-cart. Thrust and Moon Lander are two big examples, that crashed every time I tried them with the VecFlash. It is a nice programmable cartridge, but I have found that it does have its limits. For the Vectrex '09 display, I will be mainly running these games (at best, probably less - it just makes it simpler and easier to run the show with fewer games): - Berzerk (something that people would recognize) - Hyperchase (darn good racing game) - Mine Storm (built-in, but a very, very good game) - Patriots (great homebrew) - RipOff (good space game) - Scramble (another recognizable arcade game) - Space Wars (great two-player game) - Spike Hoppin' (good homebrew) - Star Trek (always fun to play) I will more than likely be bringing a set of Homebrew games just for display, but this will allow for the running of Moon Lander and Thrust too. I really would like to show both of these games to the public.
