An interview with Vectrex homebrew developer Alex Nicholson from 2006; always interesting how people get into homebrew development for classic systems.
The Vectrex is an 8-bit video game console that was released in 1982. It had its own monitor, so finally Mom and Dad could fear the Russians on the evening news in peace while you pretended to be a space ship, a vacuum cleaner, or even more unlikely, someone racing in the Tour de France. CGE stopped making Vectrex units in 1984.
Alex Nicholson is a retro programmer from the United Kingdom and has released Logo for the Vectrex…in 2006! Alex’s release includes a physical cartridge, an overlay, printed instructions and a perfectly designed box.

Where's my Populous Movie EA ?!@#
I'd like to see the Wing Commander franchise dig itself out of the stink that was the Wing Commander movie; I walked out of that one.

Ports on the Amstrad GX 4000
Came across a AMSTRAD GX 4000 on a Czech Republic shopping website for sale the other day and thought I'd pass some pictures along considering we don't see them as much in the states. Only 40 games were released and you find them for the most part in the UK and other European countries. More images after the jump.
