"Reviving Vectrex: The Unlikely Resurrection of a Classic Console"

The Vectrex, a pioneering video game console from 1982 known for its vector graphics and integrated CRT display, is experiencing a resurgence 40 years after its market failure due to the video game crash of the early '80s. Enthusiasts and collectors like Sean Kelly, co-founder of the National Videogame Museum, have played a significant role in reviving the console by releasing multi-carts with multiple games, including previously unreleased titles like Mail Plane. The console's unique hardware and graphics capabilities, along with new developer interest, are contributing to its newfound appreciation among retro gaming communities.
