If you are a serious collector and this is something you would enjoy both playing, and having as a conversation piece, I say go for it. A fair price is whatever you feel comfortable with paying. A lot of the time, game collecting is like collecting art. It's all about what you're willing to pay for the art. Basquiat is a good example. He was a Neo-expressionist painter from the 80s and his art looked like something a 6 year old would doodle on the wall in crayon, but one of his paintings sold for $110 million. It's all about what you're willing and able to pay for something. |

I just recently bought mine about a month ago paid 400.00 at a retro store with 10 games he was asking over 500.00 but he gave me a special price. To be honest I haven't played it for more than 15min since I got it but I still don't have the game I'm most interested in owning (Star castle) this system captures the the feel of the old arcade games very well Imo.I'm sure I'll play much more once I acquire my favorite arcade game of all time so I guess I'm saying yes I think it's worth it. |

While it does give more of an arcade vibe and slightly different grapics and sounds, it comes pretty near the simplicity of atari games. Even if also like to play 8 bit master system and nes games if you don't like atari games vectrex will most likely not suit your palette Seeing as you are pretty big on atari I can see why you might give it allot of play time with certain games. |
