Gradius in Vectrex: Literally!

Post by postman »

Got my hands on a broken Vectrex, and was bored, so came up with this:

I would have loved to slap a Gradius logo on the side somehow, but no way was I going to paint it on. I found something called Vectrex wraps, which were custom made stickers that fit a Vectrex, but that was from 5 years ago and the design was more like Space Invaders. If anyone has Gradius stickers or something that would fit nice, let me know.... ;)

Adorable. Could use some little glow in the dark stars on the back, too. Keep us posted if you get a Gradius sticker for it, haha.

When everyone's hanging out and chilling after a fierce space battle, options make great beer mugs.

Yeah, a vector version of Gradius wouldn't be too shabby these days. Is it doable? The framerate on the Vectrex homebrew title of Wormhole (a Gyruss clone) is amazing. And there's the Vectrex Debris shmup title to play/own as well.
