All these news about the Vectrex are going to become a problem for me. Already was top of the list of retro machines I wanted but now it's becoming a bare necessity. ;-)

No, I don't want to go and search and open my ZX81, my wife would kill me if I do it, also I have to look if my TV is compatible or buy one.

This game became Zarch and when converted to other platforms was named Virus.

I hate it when they do those things. When it asks about language and location set English and USA. I recall some of those books trying to adapt some of the listings to your own computer. Typing, save to cassette, correcting and retyping, save to cassette again and try again.

This is destined to be on a shelf. It must be close to unusable unless you can connect a real size real keyboard. BTW, the bootnote is epic.
