Any Vectrex fans around?

Since starting this thread, I've actually bought my second system.  Got it on Craigslist with a few games I needed.  Great little system with a small library, doesn't seem too hard to complete with the exception of Mr. Boston.  Nice to see you on these boards Dusk, didn't know you were posting here.

Was Mr. Boston even a regular release? Wasn't that a promo game?

[MrMark0673]

Yeah, but it has ROMs in it, not Eproms, so many consider it a part of the set.  3 have been found, 1 complete if I am not mistaken.  Its basically just clean sweep with a Mr. Boston logo.

To me it is a promo so I wouldn't count it. Thats my 2 cents.

This was/is a great system and very advanced, technology wise, for it's time.  I definitely recommend Fortress of Narzod - best game for the vectrex IMHO.

Easily my favorite right now as well.  You play as a wizard on a hover craft, I mean, how do you top that?

EDIT:  For those of you who don't have a Vectrex but want to try out some of these games, download the ROMs.  This is the only system I know of where the company who owns the rights to the games have made them free public domain, meaning it is 100% perfectly legal to own the ROMs.  Pretty cool stuff.  I'm usually anti-emulation but I can support anything thats free AND legal.
