what new games for vectrex? ? ? I have one still and almost all the games. Do you want to buy it or them? soon I'm trading all my old skool systems for a PS2 since everythign is emulated on PC
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU STILL HAVE THAT!
The robot is VerBot or something like that. I remeber dying and begging for one for xmas. Raided the xmas stash about a month before xmas and found it, then had to wait till xmas morning to play. Fun, but never quite as good as the commercials. I do beleive I still have it buried away somewhere.
mzrsq<----- Feeling very old.
I think it's called Omnibot!
That's hilarious!
vectrex carts
This is a small list of what has come out over the past few years.
Last one I bought was Protector/YASI. Protector is a remake of Defender done in Vectors. It's actually better than the real arcade game (which I also own). The game even has internal non-volatile memory to save high scores, setting and found hidden games/easter eggs.
My collection is pretty much complete. Ebay is probably your best choice for selling. Do some research so that you know what you've got. The market has dropped off over the past 5 years but there are still certain items worth big $$$. If you had a game called Mr. Boston (promo game for the liquor store chain) you'd be able to buy a PS2, an Xbox 360 along with a ton of games for each. Last Mr. Boston cart sold for $1,225.00.

Your parents must have loved you very much to get you such cool toys!
Still have mine! Still works, too!
The dawn of Kawasaki!!
I had the Hot Wheels Big Wheels ! Wore the plastic tires off of it .
I can't remember what mine was called, but it had the hand brake that made you spin out! I used to race my friends Green Machine all summer!
BIG WHEEL. The "parking brake" on the right rear wheel was awesome...with enough speed it was good for a 180º.
Those things were loud too! Hollow plastic body and hollow wheels, you could hear that rumble from anywhere in the neighborhood.
The more your wheels were worn out the more respect you got. Eventually the front big wheel would get so many flat spots it would be bouncing around all over and really making a racket. The small rears would start to split. You reached ulitmate status when your parents had to go to the store and buy you new wheels for your Big Wheel.
Oh man...the back rest was adjustable by moving it to different holes in the body. We'd fill the body completely up with water and it would leave a stream out the small drain hole in the rear as you rode along. Then we started filling the entire body with sand. Within days the sidewalks throughout the neigborhood were covered with sand from the Big Wheel exhaust system.
I wonder if they still make Big Wheels...probably not, too many ways for stoooopid kids (with sue happy parents) to get hurt.
BTW, you were right, that is an Omnibot.
This is a Garloo circa 1961
