[No Image Yet, does anyone have one ?]
This _could_ be the same as Minicade, but
the mirror and track ball things don't match..
From an ex-GCE employee :
The VECTREX-Arcade Arcades
1999/11/07
Early on in VECTREX production, GCE
licensed a local businessman the use of the VECTREX. The basic Vectrex was
put into a standard video arcade housing like all the Atari Centipedes in
the 7-11s. It had a mirror that brought the screen up to eye level. I am not
sure if it had a larger tube installed or whether it was magnified optically.
They were in pizza parlors and the like for a while. One came through GCE
Santa Monica where it sat for a week. Unfortunately it was not in working
order. We were all dying to play it. Now that would be a valuable
collector's item if any still existed.
PS. It had a Track Ball. |
