Oh, I thought you must have seen me mention it before.  No problem.

My friend has a huge collection of consoles and games, and I'm sure I saw a Vectrex at his house once.  But yeah, I've always loved the name.  Vectrex!  It sounds like... I don't know... something out of Tron?  Hmm... not exactly.  Meh, I don't know what it sounds like; I just know it sounds cool.  Though, I admit it may just be my 80s inner-child speaking.

Haha. Sounds incredibly creative to me. Considering im a child born at the end of the 80s/beginning of 90s :P

 

Bah!  You're a baby!

The thing about names like "Vectrex" - and probably one of the reasons I like them - is that they sound cool while also having a kind of retro vibe to them.  I mean, "Vectrex" just sounds like something from the 80s.  You know, the era when home computers were a new thing and they tried to name stuff to sound alien and futuristic.
