Vectrex Mini vectoring in on launch via Kickstarter

Okay, Vectrex isn't exactly a portable system. But the new mini is definitely a more mobile and better bet than the few original models creaking around online auctions. The early-80s vector graphic gaming system with its own screen was a desirable but short-lived machine, with just 28 games released. 

Living off the hype of the Star Wars vector arcade game, it had a version of Pole Position, Scramble and many shooters. But then it vanished with a green/blue afterglow burned in my young retinas. 

Vectrex Official is showing off the first Vectrex Mini hardware at Gamescom and it will delight me to put down cold hard cash for one whenever a launch is announced through Kickstarter or whatever means necessary.  

Hopefully, it will support the many homebrew titles that came after the product's demise, and encourage a new generation of developers to create glowing-line-based goodness for it. And if that isn't small enough for you check out the new pocket HyperMegaTech keychain arcade games! 

Update: Some pics from Gamescom of the Vectrex Mini units in action, and the packaging... and that it packs an AMOLED screen to make those vectors pop.
