I always wanted a Vectrex as a kid, but missed the boat. It seemed so cool. So, it was a real delight to meet Jay Smith, 87, creator of the Vectrex. Such a nice guy!! (Could he ever have imagined he'd be doing this show in the year 2026?) We're just two niche gaming consoles with unique screens!

(Many thanks to the really nice folks making the Vectrex Mini — I can't wait to try one of those! — for inviting him to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Here he is talking about that project. )
