A History of Gaming Platforms - The Vectrex - Loguidice and Barton

Mon, 12/17/2007 - 11:20am — Bill Loguidice

Hey, guys, just a heads-up, the second article in the series from the book, this one on the GCE/Milton Bradley Vectrex, has been posted by Gamasutra: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3117/a_history_of_gaming_platforms...

If you're interested, as a special bonus, here are four images they chose not to include in the article:

01 - GCE's Vectrex.

04 - The color overlay for Spinball.

09 - Armor Attack in action, with color overlay.

13 - Not just the domain of modern consoles anymore, the Vectrex now has its own high quality, limited edition custom skin from Michele Fiori based on the homebrew Protector and Y.A.S.I. games.

The next one up will be the Apple II, which I think will be the best yet. Enjoy!
