Yes! The software will support digital overlays, so youโll be able to add them to the games. Weโre currently working on a few small features like this, for example the ability to turn the buzz sound on or off. ๐

Yeah the screen is definitely a key part of the Vectrex experience! Thatโs why weโve put a lot of work into the display and the emulation of effects... Youโll be able to adjust the display settings to get a look that works best for you. ๐

Hi, sorry for the late reply!
1. The resolution is 800x480px.
2. The games will run in black and white, but the Vectrex Mini does support color.
3. Yes, youโll be able to add digital overlays to the games.

Thatโs such a great memory with the bookstore setup! ๐ฅฐ
For the Vectrex Mini, itโs emulation on an OLED screen, and youโll be able to adjust the display settings to get the look you want.

Unfortunately thatโs not something weโll be able to offer, as CRT screens are no longer produced for consumer use today.

If you're a retro enthusiast then you've no doubt heard of the iconic one-of-its-kind #Vectrex console
An innovative system that utilized a built-in vector screen for its graphics
And now, there's a mini-revision on the way

I can see that! Itโs actually the ship that lays mines in Minestorm (which is the Vectrex version of Asteroids), but yeah, it does have that same kind of look! ๐

Backed this one on Kickstarter in the first hour! I just love how unique the Vectrex is, and I might never have learned about if not for this revival. Gonna be a long wait, but worth it!

Yeah the Vectrex is truly something special!! Thank you so much for backing it so early, that really means a lot to us. ๐๐

The Vectrex Mini doesnโt support the 3D Imager, so true 3D games would be tricky, but weโd love to see something like that happen. ๐
