I've been making the Vectrex multi-cart for about seven years now and it's sure come a long way! I still have the very first one I built which was hand-wired (with far too thick wires I might add) and used a timer chip and push-button switch to scroll through the games. What you see to the left is the latest revision (v2.0).
It contains the entire Vectrex library less one title - AnimAction. Most of the recently programmed games are on it as well, including those written by John Dondzilla and others for a whopping total of 60 titles! If you've been lucky enough to find a Vectrex console, you probably know how difficult it is to find it's games. The Vectrex multi-cart is the answer to all your Vectrex gaming needs!

It comes encased in a regular Vectrex cartridge casing and has a color Vectrex-style label as you can see from the picture above. Games are selected via on-screen menu software that allows you to scroll through the titles and select the game you want to play by hitting the fire button.
The cartridge is completely upgradeable. Should I add any new games to it (I don't do an upgrade every time a new game is released - I generally wait until I have several titles to add at once), simply send your cartridge back to me for an upgrade. If you're already using a v2.0 or higher cartridge, the upgrade price is $5 which includes return postage. If you're using an older revision (older revisions will not show a revision number on the menu software title screen), the upgrade price is $12 which also includes return postage and consists of a minor modification to your circuit board and a new chip with twice the capacity of your current chip.
Contact me if you don't already own one and would like to get one.
