I interview Laurence Bennion of Blacklighter, who has created an amazing selection of ultraviolet overlays for the Vectrex console.
I went with my recording gear to find out all about his modern UV overlays, their experimental creation, our love for the Vectrex, demonstrations of the technology and how his new Vectrex modification brings a new 3D perspective to enjoying the console.
#throwbackthursday to last summer when I built my own Vectrex controller. In a cave. From scraps!
Morgen baue ich mein #Vectrex bei einer Veranstaltung des #HomeComputerMuseum #Frankfurt in #BadHomburg auf🤗

Gezockt werden bei mir #Homebrews wie #HeraPrimera, #VectorPilot, #Vectrexians, #Yasi und #Protector oder Hacks wie #Verzerk 🕹
Per #Atarivox mit #VecVoice activated heißt es dann #IntruderAlert 🔊
Hab schon gepackt... früher war nicht alles besser sondern schwerer 😅
Interaktive Ausstellung & Flohmarkt für Retro Computer Commodore, Atari, Sinclair, Coleco Vision uvm. ♥ Photo Art Exposition | 80's Community inkl. 8 Bit Gaming Arena. Sei dabei und erlebe die Faszination von 8 Bit nochmal ganz neu
First thing at Home: trying my new #vectrex game “Hera Primera”.
It is boxed and comes with an overlay and a cartridge 🥰
I had to source a replacement potentiometer for a Vectrex' brightness knob. I found this one on Newark (link below), though I had to extend the leads to align with the hole in the shell then Dremel down the handle a bit so it didn't protrude too far, but it's working perfectly!
And plastic housing means there's no risk of it shorting against the flyback shielding!
RadPad für die Vectrex getestet!
Nach langer Suche habe ich endlich das RadPad ergattert – ein analoger Controller für die Vectrex-Konsole! Der größere Stick, die runde Knopf-Anordnung und die präzise Steuerung machen es zu einer starken Alternative zum Original.
Mein Fazit? Definitiv eine Empfehlung für alle Vectrex-Fans!
