004 - Vectrex

from The 8 Bit Files · host John Biehler and Dave Zille

In this episode, John and Dave talk about one of the most unique and innovative 8 bit gaming consoles of all time - the Vectrex. The Vectrex was a cool video game console that came out in the early 80s. It had a built-in screen that used vector graphics, which looked different from other games at the time. It also had overlays that you could put on the screen to make the games more colourful. It was one of a kind and still has fans today. John also talks about a potential remake of the Atari 800XL, Atari’s 8 bit computer from 1983.
