Vectrex (Games Compilation)

Here's a video I made as a tribute to the Vectrex, with some nice music to go with it.
The Vectrex was the first, and only, fully self contained vector-graphics home arcade system. It had a built in vector monitor and speaker so it didn't need a TV. It had zooming and rotation effects that were revolutionary for its days.
The graphics were monochrome vector lines with tinted screen overlays which added the illusion of color. I included the overlays in this video :D
Games used in this video: Mine Storm, Web Wars, Heads Up, Solar Quest, Hyperchase, Armor Attack, Spike, Berzerk, Clean Sweep, Spinball, Fortress Of Narzod, Scramble, Pole Position
For this vid I used an XBOX360 controller, which is my excuse for the lack of control :D

@AlirazaVideoGames This must have been the chit back in the 80's. I was just a kid who had an atari 2600 some time in the 80's, which for some strange reason I all of a sudden miss.

Thank you for this video - with a great score - hope your Vectrex is still alive and kicking - this beast is immortal. :)
