Nebula Commander is a space combat strategy game for the Vectrex that truly shines. This game can be played against another person (using a second controller) or against the AI. In Nebula Commander your goal is to gain control of the Nebula (not sure if that is the Crab Nebula, the Mutara Nebula, or the […]

Mr. Boston is a slightly modified version of Clean Sweep that was created for advertising purposes. As the game starts you get the ad for Mr. Boston liquor followed by the Clean Sweep title screen. It would have been nice if they had modified the title screen in some way but I suppose the […]

Moon Lander is a homebrew game for the Vectrex that brings the classic Lunar Lander type game for the console. This game, however, improves upon the original concept. In Moon Lander you have to land your space module not on one but several types of moons. Each moon has its own unique challenge such […]

So, how do you improve an already excellent game? You make it in 3D, of course! 3D Mine Storm is essentially the same game as 2D Mine Storm but with a very effective 3D aspect added to it. 3D Mine Storm was the pack-in game that came with the Vectrex 3D Imager and it […]

This is the one game that you cannot not get with the Vectrex. Why? Very simple, it comes integrated with the system without the need for a cartridge. Mine Storm follows along the lines of Asteroids but improves on that idea. Instead of asteroids, you have to clear a field of mines. These mines […]

Hyperchase is a racing game that bears a similarity to Enduro for the Atari 2600. Despite its name, there is nothing to chase. Visually, this game is quite impressive. The roads, trees, and other objects around the road are scaled very smoothly to give proper perspective. In fact, it is impressive to see how […]

If you love card games, you’re sure to love Hexed! Hexed is a turn-based game where you are pitted against a dealer who essentially throws back at you what look like tarot cards. These cards all have a certain effect on both you and the dealer, something that is measured by means of “life […]

Heads Up

Heads Up is a soccer game for the Vectrex. Unfortunately, the game did not translate very well to the console. When I first started the game, I thought I was looking at a basketball game because of how the playing ground is drawn. Much to my surprise, I suddenly found my players kicking the […]
