Here's to the Mighty Vectrex!

I did a bit of monitor adjusting on this one, cleaned it up and applied one of the great Vectrex wraps. I think this wrap is my favorite. I highly recommend them and have one more wrap, VectorPilot, that I'll be putting on my other Vectrex. I thought about storing them forever, but I'm just going to use them. They are actually removable and the decal material is forgiving such that bubbles aren't a problem while applying.

This is a great little console and many games have that true arcade feel. I am a big fan of bezel graphics and so I really like this.

Looks great!  I have three sets of these but I've not used them yet.  I really like the look of that one you used!

Which wraps do you have?

I think if you keep the paper/card stock that the wraps arrive on, a person could remove them and put them back on the paper/card stock maybe a couple of times.

I also thought of picking up the Scramble one and the Vector Patrol. Would be neat to see about 10 Vectrex consoles together all with wraps in a mockup mini arcade scene.

Would be fun to design a few new ones as well using the template. Maybe a Cosmic Chasm one etc.

I have YASI, Scramble, and Protector. Yes, if you save the backing paper you can take them off and store them again.  I haven't tried it yet.  There were some additional ones created but I didn't get those.  They add up to quite a bit.
