Interesting, but a Vectrex without a vector display is like a fish without water.

Synthetic Vectrex!

As a kid, i had the 3D goggles. The rollercoaster simulation was pretty good!

Having seen a real one in action it seems kinda pointless without it having a true vector display.

So ... NOT vector graphics. Rasterized bitmap versions of vector graphics.

EDIT: Sorry, I'm not saying this isn't cool. I know rasterizing a vector to a sharp bitmapped display can still allow effects to simulate continuously drawn vector artifacts e.g. thin lines, thicker at vertices, refresh, flicker, etc.

Probably impractical to source a viable CRT these days, but still a bit disappointing they couldn't use one

I guess for Nostalgia? I hadn't heard of this machine before at all. It doesn't look like the games would be that appealing either. I guess I did buy the mini SNES even though it has similar issues.

It's funny that you don't really get an impression of what this is all about on the front page. I don't know what a Vectrex is, and I'm confused. Something with games I guess.

see also https://github.com/schlae/scopetrex with the plan to build a clone.

You need a XY Monitor - https://jmargolin.com/xy/xymon.htm

or if you have a normal CRT, you can add the XY kit: https://www.retrorgb.com/vector-monitor-xy-kit.html

Logo on the box looks like "Vootrix"

I would pay a LOT for a true vector display, and I would pay even more than that for a vector display systems that can play faithful recastings of Tempest and Asteroids.

I can already play vector games on rasterized displays. I don't need an injection molded cabinet.

I played a prototype version of it at gamescom. It's pretty good. The graphics look good enough to emulate the original display technology.
