After 42 years, someone has finally worked out a way to make a mini version of my favorite ’80s console, and it involves an AMOLED screen
While ’80s rivals such as the Atari 2600 and Intellivision fought for domination of the TV, the Vectrex offered gamers something different – it came with its own built-in screen capable of producing vector graphics like those seen in arcade titles like Asteroids.
Sadly, it wasn’t a commercial success, but it has retained its appeal with retro collectors over the decades – so much so that it’s now getting its chance at micro console fame.
It seems like a new company – founded by Flynn’s Generation and Neo Reetro – has picked up the rights to the system and is launching a Vectrex Mini. It’s even showing the prototypes off at Gamescom 2025.
