  • ¿Vectrex? ¿really? Yea, sure, you are experts on this...

  • Some would argue (including myself) that Vectrex is the #8 GREATEST video game console of all time.

  • You know nothing,

  • Just because you repeatedly make herpes references doesn't mean you're funny. Effort! We need effort!

  • Mark from Classic Game Room approves this console.

  • It was innovative and daring for the time. At least when you're 7. Should have been honorable mention.

  • My herps are flaring up, and I love my Vectrex. I demand you apologize for this video.

  • Comment removed

  • Monopoly = Parker Bros, not MB (you fucking douchebags)

    

  • vectrex sucks.

  • @tjb98003 Your sir, Are not human.

  • @lazavideoz Hows that?

  • @tjb98003 Vectrex sucks?'

    I don't think so!

  • @lazavideoz Didn't you hear what they said?

  • This is a good console, end of discussion

  • the vertrex was awesome.....

  • you guys are all fucking retards. vectrex is the shit!!!

  • CGR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>you

  • Mark from Classic Game Room must be so pissed when he sees this :P

  • @OscarHult But he doesn't watch youtube. He just posts and leaves, simple as that.

  • You guys < Gamester81

  • this guy knows nothing!

  • @magoo1902 You mean "These" guys, I think they passed basic math unlike some of us...

  • Why the Vectrex did suck: It lacked any real arcade game conversions! something that was life or death for a system back in the 80s.

  • @VideoWolf69 what about bezerk, scramble and hyper chase and the built in astriod clone

  • yeah... kinda wanted to learn why you think the Vectrex was a bad system... not listen to a virus with a morning star say 'booty' or listen to pirate impressions, kinda felt like you where both trying too hard to be funny in this one which is a shame because your other videos are actually pritty amusing and some good infomation and history on the console on question. swing and a miss on this one though boys.

  • OMG!!!how fuckin dare you!!! Vectrex is the most amazing awesome console ever made by mankind!!!!

  • I loved the Vectrex so much! It's awesome! I played Mine Storm endlessly and used the lightpen to make animations! I wish I still owned it!

  • Vectrex is now one of most attractive objects among video game collectors, especially the super rare original hand controllers. Bad console? These guys don't know a shit what they talk about!

  • Vectrex was awesome! Bezerk was the shiiiiit!

  • it just goes to show you havent a clue what your talking about, no way is the vectrex a crap console, any retrogamer or collector would jump at the chance of owning one , and those vector graphics in the early eighties really kicked ass and you can even get new homebrew games now for it, long live the vectrex.

  • this is the first time i am seen ths console.

  • you know what's pathetic? these reviewers, really the vectrex was awesome

  • Um, the Vetrex was actually good. It used Vector graphics rather than pixel graphics (*which is why it was white lines). It was basically the first Arcade/Home videogame system, because vector graphics were only seen in some Arcade Games. And, this console is one of the most sought out today for videogame collectors because of how awsome it was.

  • Um, actually it was made by GCE. But Milton Bradley bought out GCE. And then they put their name on it. Then they just made GREAT games for the Vectrex. The Vectrex is awesome! I love it!

  • dude, the vectrex is pretty neat... it's cooler than the 2600

  • Vectrex is one of the greatest of all time.

  • Mark from CGR will be very angry at you when he sees this...

  • Mark from CGR would KILL you for this review! I know for a fact that he's a huge fan of the Vectrex. Shame I didn't grow up in that generation or I'd probabily enjoy this system. Becides these losers wouldn't know humor if it bit them in the ass. Honestly they sould like retards..

  • you clearly have never played the vectrex...

  • Did play this back in the early 80:s was never any problem with the cartridges .

    Still have the machine + some games & they work fine

  • The Vectrex was great, easy to set up, smooth graphics, fun games, easily portable. It even had an analog joystick, the only console to beat them to that was the 5200.

  • ive played this in the 90's when i was 5 well every game i had back wthen had cartrige problems

  • The vectrex is one of the greatest stand alone gaming stations ever created. The star trek game captivated me for weeks until I finally conquered level 9 and pwned the Klingon mother ship. It also had the first in game talking bits. Not sound bites full sentences.

  • this is funny lol (inserrt dogs name here) goes to thje strip clup heheheh

  • valtrex for vetrex

  • Seriously, these guys are eating crack filled puff pastries because every kid on the planet wanted a Vectrex but their parents wouldn't buy them one after they had already blown their wad on an Atari last Christmas. If your parents completely sucked and didn't get you an Atari, by the next Christmas they were going to buy something because they were sick and fucking tired of hearing your stupid ass complain about it, so were their cheap asses going to buy the $200 Vectrex or the $150 Atari?

  • ok this video sucks. I actually played with this game back in the 80's. It didn't tie up the tv viewing for mom and dad. When your a kid and needed a game to play no complicated cords to deal with just plug in and go. The graphics wasn't all that hot but then again what video game from the early 80's had good graphics do I need to mention pong?

  • Monopoly was Parker Brothers, Vectrex was great, it only failed due to the bad timing, this was lightyears ahead of anything, vector graphics are only white, many systems had cartridge problems, and you guys are idiots!

  • i havent laughed so hard since avgn!

  • What?! The Vectrex was BY FAR the most advanced system on the market, You can't color vector graphics so that's why the overlays were there. When i got my Vectrex in 1983, NOBODY who saw or played it did't buy one for themselves if they could afford it

  • They tried SO so hard to be funny... Yet they failed worse than the very system they were reviewing

  • @MMAfan11 Not only that....use some sound editing! One guy is whispering and then you have the other jackass yelling in your ear! Puhleeze!

  • All of you idiots who cannot get it through your head that people have opinions should not watch reviews. Example: I love the game shadow the hedgehog and my favorite reviewer gave it a 1/5. I did not give a crap and watched his other reviews.

  • People are Entitiled to there opinion so stop disputing there's.

  • The Vectrex is awesome!

  • WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! you would say that a console that has its own monitune suck?

  • the vectrex is a GREAT system, it has WAY better graphics than any console man, it has no pixels!

  • that was bloody awful, its opinionated and incongruous to popular opinion on the device itself, 182 dislikes and counting.

  • @pcvideogamer And Guess what? A large part of all reviews is opinion! Popular opinion is of no use in a review! I appreciate the review for what it is and what it is, is funny.

  • The Vectrex was a great system with a huge cult following who pay top dollar for them. The reason it did not come on was because vector graphics were being phase out. Today you cannot even buy vector monitors, which is a shame because there are so many classic Vector arcade games. The Vectrex is the ONLY console that comes close to capturing the way those vector arcade games looked.

  • HELL NO! Vectrex kicks ass! Just watch classic game room :)

  • The Vectrex is better than this video.

  • I like the Vectrex, but this is funny. also the video game system was out dated when it hit the market.

  • @Traductus5972 You make my point exactly. Finally a polite and sensible person on YouTube

  • Comment removed

  • THE VECTREX IS AWESIM!!!!! FUCKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­

  • not shit revolutionary for its time

  • Why is it working by classic game room? Everytime they put another game in it, it works. As, ask them!

  • Classic game room is going to kill you!

  • Did anyone see two intellivisions?

    1.50 - 1.54

  • Vectrex is badass, muthafucka

  • This thing looks amazing! I bet they go for about a thousand dollars on ebay too ... so I'll never get to play one.

  • VECTREX IS AWESOME!

  • I LOVE GTO, U GUYS ROCK

  • WTF??!  Vectrex is AWESOME. Are they crazy?! And in which universe is the (admittedly pretty cool) Intellivision better than the Vectrex?

  • @wildsmiley I know! I was like what the...? 

  • Vectrex was not a bad system. It just was released at the wrong time. The games on it were great I played them before, The entire gaming community would shun if u told them this system was a failure. I do like ur other videos though, I just feel that the Vectrex was one of those awesome consoles that never reached success even though it obviously should have.

  • Parker Bros originally made Monopoly before they merged.

  • Two students making a movie, which worked out fair. The running gag isn't funny and time/location bound. What are the methods of defining this console as "worst"; sales numbers? Price? Quality of games? Marketing? While it might not have been the hit at that time, it currently is a rock solid classic. Great games and a distinct style of presentation make it worth your while.

    I smirked once at the pirate joke and the comparison to the NES. thanks. :)

  • Vectrex is awesome.

  • You have 0 idea about gaming guy.

    The Vectrex is awesome.

  • I know people who would hang you 2 for putting Vectrex in the same category as the Studio II or some of the others!

  • The Vectrex was a cool system. Mine Storm actually went to level 38 before it did crash

  • The Vectrex was a cool system

  • Ooh Vectrex, cant agree with u guys on that one, still great vidz :-)

  • I've played a Vetrex; and fucking loved it.

    Except the buzzing sound XD

  • I don't care if I agree... you guys are hilrious.

  • Having to have used a Vectrex, I actualy like it a lot!

  • Idiots.

  • The vectrex was awesome! Total injustice having it on the same list as the other rubbish here!

  • Big time fail on this one.

    Vectrex was one of the greatest game consoles of all time... NO, it IS the greatest video game console of all time!

    SO much novelty! SO much awesomeness! SO much fun!

    But you guys? SO much fail!

  • guys just chill there still funny

    allbeit wrong

  • Im sorry but u guys are full of crap, Lay off on the thing i mean u guys probably coulnd't make a better one and o yea ur jokes sucks, You guys are cornier than the I RATE GAMER

  • There's nothing wrong with the Vectrex, you just picked consoles that failed and found some criticisms

  • do you guys like anime because at your walls you have bleach and something else that i cannot infer from.

  • You put a picture of the Intellivision instead of the COlecovision... XD

  • Just in case no one's mentioned this yet, Parker Brothers made Monopoly, not Milton Bradley.

  • The vectrex ain't stupid, it just came out in the video game crisis of 1983. Dammit!

  • i love how these guys review systems BEFORE they play them

  • vectrex looks awesome, i hope this is just a spoof of the vectrex. sure it had problems, like the cartridge had trouble going into the slot, but the graphics still look awesome! the idea of putting in a pre-installed game is awesome, milton bradley's vectrex looks cool!

  • vectrex looks awesome, i hope this is just a spoof of the vectrex. sure it had problems, like the cartridge had trouble going into the slot, but the graphics still look awesome! the idea of putting in a pre-installed game, milton bradley's vectrex looks cool!

  • Vectrex Was ot bad, i love it ALOT more than the 2600

  • 1:53 Colecovision? lol

  • I think the Vectrex was cool.

  • Sorry but this review is awful

  • Vectrex is teh legend.

  • PSA, your not cool, unless you have a VECTREX

    ~STERNrogerinh

  • 1:52 thats an intelevision. did they do that on purpose?

  • I've never seen a Vectrex, only some cartridges being sold sporadically. The vector graphics look kind of cool, though-- especially the explosions.

  • Vectrex is awesome =/

  • VECTREX IS FUCKING AWESOME DUDE!

    What are you talking about?

    I respect your opinion of course but come on! one of the worst consoles ever?

  • I get headaches listening to this shit. You dumb fucks probably don't even know what vector graphics is.

  • wow, you guys take it to a new level! and i'm not talking about the audio quality neither.. your'e an AVGN tribute act, right? lol i get it.. awesome, i LOVE AVGN!!!

  • The Vectrex can only be listed as one of the greatest consoles of all time. You guys are so off base and must want hits on your video as the VECTREX the MIGHTY VECTREX was and is one of the very best consoles of ALL TIME!!

  • FEAR THE WRATH OF LORD KARNAGE!!!!!!!!

  • My Vectrex has worked FAULTLESSLY since 1984 so I have no idea what these guys are talking about.Also, I have reached level 133 on Minestorm, no mean feat! Can anyone beat that?

  • shouldn't the dooshebeard need an actual beard

  • vectrex??? why????

  • The vectrex is a great system. 

  • Valtrex can't protect you from the Vectrex.....

  • I CANNOT believe you guys didn't reverse the MB logo. Where was the whole BM: Bowel Movement logo?

  • There not even making money from adsense, becasue all they say is reused crap thats been said over and over.

  • i think you should do some more fact checking about the release price,cause i remember this thing costing like 4,5 or 6 hundred at first,and i only had 1 rich friend that had this system,and i remember the 3d goggles,you should have went more in depth about them,they weighed like 50 lbs,so heavy they would fall of your face and had loud ass motors inside them that spun colored wheels,over each eye,they were so lound and close to your face u couldnt hear the sound from the game

  • Vectrex graphics might be only black & white but they're not pixelated like the other console's. Sound is pretty standard, the joystick is very arcade-y and some of the games are really good, especially the arcade ports. It has its flaws but it's not bad like the Jaguar and seeing smoothly scaling graphics on a console this old is kinda amazing.

  • Wtf? The Vectrex is awesome, I have the console plus the games Berzerker and Scramble. If you say this console is one of the worst in history there is something wrong with you.

    I mean, come on! It has vector graphics!

  • Amusing video, but c'mon guys if you're going to rate a console "worst" you should at least play it. I'm thinking you've never even seen a Vectrex. Or, am I wrong?

  • -Vectrex

    -Worst console of all time

    Pick one.

  • Vectrex? Seriously? I mean of all the shitfucks that are there...U pick Vectrex? What's wrong with u!?

  • vectrex = vector drawing scheme

    you can't display color with vectors.

  • Vectrex worse than herpes?

  • Are the reviewers even old enough to have even owned one of these when they were released? I suspect fail.

  • why dont i see comments about the intended picture messup at 1:51 ?

  • @0M9H4X *Facepalm*

  • Thumbs up for pirates of the carribean music at the begining

  • 1:53 Nice how you say ColecoVision and show the Intellivision again

  • NEVAR I MEAN NEVAR INSULTZ TEH VECTRWEX BIATCH

  • Comment removed

  • Had a blast playing this when I was a kid.But how would you know,you were probably not even born yet. What a shit video!

  • C'mon, Vectrex owns...

  • @GoochandTheDooshebag I found several videos on reviews of the Vectrex and the console isn't as bad you choose to portray. It renders graphics in only one color, white, but they are super sharp and give really awesome visual effects! Better than the graphics still is the sound quality, which is as arcade-like as you should check out. Of course, I criticize the silly, needless overlays but at least they do explain what the four buttons are used for in each game.

  • Ahem, I am very angry that you claim vectrex to be a bad system i was about 2 when i first played it and i loved it i think it was in....2001 Well i also had an NES and such but i loved the game it was awesome i would play Hyper Chase hours on end then i moved on to the NES and ect.... I think the vectrex made me love classic video games so now im loving old games instead of new ones and im 11

  • 113 people need Valtrex

  • The vectrex is the symbol of the CGR Empire. I find this video OFFENSIVE. I must report this to Lord Karnage immediately, so he can get his legion of vector-based warriors to bring this video DOWN! Nah, jk, I respect your opinions. I personally think the vectrex is awesome, but, I can kinda see why you think this way. Good video :)

  • You guys are epic. Just finished the Atari 5200 vid and you guys just almost made me piss myself laughing.

    That is an indication that I love this series.

  • dude...

    vectrex has vector graphx - its the shit.

    nanana, nothing against it.

    it IS the shit.

    dis video is fun, but cmon the vectrex is awesome.

    i mean it has its own TV! its the pre-pre-pre-pre-pre PSP!

    even though the PSP sucks because it utilises assy pixels and not skilly triangles. its like a headshot. you cant have ny more skill. headshot is the best you can get. nading is for nubs. like vectrex is for pros. AVGN never reviewed a single vectrex game. cuz theyre all that cool. i fav'd.

  • Vectrex is awesome!

    I agree with the other consoles in your top 10 worst consoles of all time, but the vectrex should be in the top 10 best consoles of all time!

  • Ok Vectrxs Was Design Wrong

  • You don't know what you are talking about, The Vectrex was one of the best systems ever made because it was unique and used Vector Graphics an actual Arcade Machine technology that was used by Star Castle and the more known Star Wars Arcade game (the one from the 80s). It had a very Original Pac Man type Game where you had to empty your bag of money in order to keep collecting dots which were supposed to be coins and you were a vacuum cleaner.

  • @dallase1 And the only reason it had such a short lifespan was because it was released shortly before the video game crash of 1983.

  • You guys have reached a level of geekiness far beyond my geekiness. Nice

  • @sundown798

    LOL!! That's what we're here for sundown!

    Thanks for watching!

    ~DB

  • Vectrex was awesome you guys are idiots

  • Are you kidding me?

    This console had 3D games in 82

    there wasn't allmost none, also, whats the problem with overlays, they look awesome

    The sound quality was really awesome for its time and it is shamefull putting this console on this top 10

  • The Vectrex is the HOTEST colectors item out there aside from an Adventurevision in the nostalgia realm.

    I loved it when I played it at the store but could never afford one.

    It had a built in screen based on Vectorscan NOT RASTER! Color Vector was expensive so to sell it reasonable it was B&W with color overlays.

    I hate when children have review old tech. They will never know magnetic tape or vinyl.

  • I now see what you mean about the Vectrex sometimes not reading cartridges.

    Although my original Vectrex has never had the problem, I have now come across a Vectrex that does and it was very easy to fix.

    The problem was simply that the cartridge slot was too loose, so all I did was turn the Vectrex on it's side, take some black tape and stick it to the bottom and top of the cartridge opening, using six pieces total. Now the cartridges fit snug and read every time.

  • Vextrex was really a great system. Mine died and the company was already out of business, so I was (still am) screwed.

  • lol i think the vectrex had amazing games and was really good for its time using vector graphics which meant no blurriness

  • You guys messed up on the part of the video when you mention the other consoles you could buy. The atari 2600 the intellivision and the Cole-WHAA??? You guys used the picture of the intellivision instead of the colecovision at 1:52

  • @Supersourcrout LOL thats a FAIL

  • PIRATE VOISE FTW!!! :D

  • Also of note: First home system to even attempt 3D, and the lightpen peripheral was miles ahead of the Zapper in terms of flexibility and complexity.

  • It's funny that you guys used Pole Position when talking about the 'bad graphics', when the alternative was Atari Pole Position, which looked like you were driving a flattened peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich through a bin of Legos. At least there were other cars in the Vectrex port, not mammoth-sized yellow bricks that looked vaguely like a Space Invader x 30 the closer you got. No, seriously, folks, check it out. It looks like garbage.

  • Vectrex is awasome

  • Lol Dooshbeard

  • Yeah, ya'll are full of shit... Vetrex was awesome for its time. were talkin real early 80's here, not mid or late 80's like the sms or nes.

  • ill get ur booty

  • The Vectrex is one of the best systems I have yet to try. I found it to be the closest system to an arcade unit to date. People need to review the Classic Game room video to see what's it all about

  • booty!!

  • lol you showed the intellivision for the colecovision picture at 1:52

    good review tho

  • Ive never laughed so hard in my life......then i read the comments and nearly died from lack of oxygen thnx for the amusement. (in particular bogart266 trying to insult someone with bad spelling ROFL!!)

  • the vectrex was not even REMOTELY that close as bad as these people claim it to be, its actually more reliable then they make it out to me also. What a crock of lieing shit.

  • @bogart266 It's spelled "lying" not "lieing." Remember, this is our personal opinion and nothing else. But if you feel that you must insult us, at least spell the words correctly, LOL!!! Glad you enjoyed the video!

  • @GoochandTheDooshebag yeah and its called vantrex not ventrex

  • @GoochandTheDooshebag Yup bogart failed... but he still said the truth :P
