Released in 1982 by General Consumer Electronics and later by Milton Bradley, the Vectrex was a unique home console featuring a built-in vector monitor rather than relying on a television. Its sharp vector graphics delivered arcade-style visuals that were unlike anything else in the home gaming market at the time. Due to its innovative design and short production run, the Vectrex has become highly collectible. Today it is prized by retro enthusiasts for its self-contained hardware, distinctive look, and cult-classic status in video game history.
