A multicart for the Vectrex for 9 pounds? Seems like too good a deal to be true, right? That's only around 20 bucks???

9 British pounds = 15.8949 U.S. dollars

Doesn't have to be.

The Vec PCB blanks were like 2.95 each. So the materials cost for this, if you use EPROM pulls, is probably like $8.

I see that the downside is that the guy is only offering up 32K ROMs. Which is great, except that most of the modern-day releases are like 16K or even 32K.

I dunno, maybe I'll get this anyway and get the last of the original games that I've wanted on it. Who can tell, who can tell. Maybe I'll just buy my girlfriend an orchid. Which is more likely to bring me happiness? Keeping in mind I already have Scramble, Star Castle, Web Wars and Bedlam from the original Vectrex releases.
