The Vectrex is a fairly popular video game machine in regards to it being in the Underdog Chamber exhibit. I’ve decided once again to display the Vectrex system for the MGC ’10 show. Testing was easy, as it has been for years. Plugged it in and it ran just fine. I’ll have a series of game for this at this show, not yet determined. The old B/W Vectrex is such a cool and unique system from the early 80′s.
On the side, I finished testing a new video cable for the TI 99/4A, which turns the signal from the TI computer into video signals for my TV sets. This way I do not have to deal with that somewhat large RF box, which is a good thing in my book. It does give off a bit of audio feedback though, but it isn’t bad enough for me to consider it not worthy of use.
I also bought another old iMac yesterday from a nice guy out in Waukesha (off of Cragslist). It was a great deal on a Dalmation G3 iMac (thanks Keven). I’ll post a picture of it some other time, after I’ve opened it up and gave it a thorough going over. I hope to have this in the show this year, as it is a rather unique looking older iMac.
One other thing too. I’ve decided not to have the Atari Jaguar in the UC area this year. I’ve been wanting to, but it will be in two areas of the show, one which will possibly be right outside my area. If this is the case, I’d rather not have it then this year. Not a big deal, as I’ve got plenty of systems to choose from. More on that soon (I hope).
TI 99/4A video cable – Good old Vectrex!
