starring Klaus Kinski and... a Vectrex! (USA, 1982)
by: Cyberroach

Boy this is one stinker of a movie! Low-budget all the way! Anyway, this movie stars a Vectrex showing the game Star Trek and displaying some custom programming by Mark Indictor. Overall not a bad part for the Vectrex, check out the screen shots.



Looks familiar, doesn't it? It's Star Trek on the Vectrex :)


Some of the custom programming done by Mark, in this case the Vectrex acts as some sort of radar display.


More custom programming, these views are static not rotating 3D wire-frames with hidden line removal :)

The Vectrex being misused as a targetting sight for the space station's laser. The red part must have been done in post-processing...

The movie had a total of two Vectrex consoles (Vectrexes? Vectri?), yeah as I said: really low budget.

There is the Vectrex to the right of our hero "Max", it's displaying Star Trek and then there is a Vectrex just in front of "Max" displaying the radar screen.

To show just what a stinker this movie was: notice all the microphones in the pictures (top left or top center), and no, these don't just become visible due to overscan, they are visible on your regular TV - yikes!

Title logo and the credits for GCE and Mark Indictor. And yes you can buy the cheapo-music (???) on a soundtrack album - yeah, I bet these are hot collectibles... NOT!
