Vectral brings wireframe WipeOut and two other games to the world's only vector-scan game console
Côté Gamers, a development team in Europe, has brought the Sony Playstation classic WipeOut to the Vectrex. Well, sort of. Unsurprisingly, the game (titled WireOut RE 2X) is more of a demake than anything, with the hovercrafts and the track drawn in wireframes.
Even with these compromises, a game like WipeOut is a pretty big swing for a forty year old game console. If that weren't enough, Vectral also features two light pen games... Nuka Bomb is a first person take on Missile Command, with the player furiously tapping on atomic bombs as they drop from the sky, and Honey is a spin on Activision's Kaboom, with a father bear catching valuables dropped from a shelf by his naughty daughter.
Vectral is currently available for sixty Euros (roughly $66 US dollars) on the Côté Gamers web site, and Vectrex fans can choose to have the game shipped in an American style box or a European one, with the less stylish Milton Bradley Vectrex logo.
