Spike on Vectrex retro games console

Featured on http://www.retrogamingcollector.com/Retro-Gaming-Videos/Vectrex-Games/Vectrex...

Gameplay from Spike playing on a Vectrex vintage games console. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

It did have Cleansweep which could be considered a Pacman clone. It was good too! Shame that no one has thought of creating some sort of Plug-N-Play TV Vectrex. Now that would make money!

But a plug-n-play tv Vectrex would be missing the one thing that made the Vectrex so unique... the vector screen.

Kinda like having a turkey dinner without the turkey.

[Sclemtak]

Yes i absolutely agree! But the Vectrex and it`s games are getting more and more difficult to get hold of. A Plug-N-Play version built into Original style controller would be a nice alternative to the real thing.PC emulations are amazing!

If i can`t get a turkey dinner i`ll settle for soya with turkey flavouring. lol!

[SteveBenway]

lol @ soya with turkey flavouring.

You make a very fair point :)

the 1st "speaking" console game ?

[SteveBenway]

I don't know, to be honest. I guess it's possible.

It is so cute and funny that the polygonal charactors are animated so smoothly.

The speech kind of blows me away everytime. Nice review/gameplay video. :]

Wouldn't know. It's rather interesting how you can emulate PCM sound playback on an AY-3-8910, though. There's a Wikipedia article on it.

So awesome... the vectrex lines are a form of art! And the digital sound for its time in the living room!!

Thanks for that! great video by the way. I used to love playing Spike. It was the first console game i ever heard Talk. It`s a shame MB ever stopped making Vectrex. Definately one of the greatest consoles ever made.
