Classic Game Room HD reviews the VECTREX Arcade Game System controller. This controller is the one youll want to play Vectrex video games with because it is the Vectrex controller, other controllers just wont do. You cant use an Xbox 360 controller, calculator or Atari 2600 joystick on the Vectrex from GCR. The Vectrex controller can be hard to come by these days in mint form. If you spot one, pick it up! Preferably you should buy a used Vectrex with 2 fully tested controllers. If your Vectrex controller breaks and becomes a broken Vectrex controller with a broken spring (or buttons or something) it can be fixed, but ideally you should have a test, working, mint condition Vectrex controller for your Vectrex video gaming. CGR is the place for Vectrex video game reviews and Vectrex gameplay showing classic Vectrex games in HD. How do you fix a broken Vectrex? More Vectrex!! The Vectrex controller has one joystick and 4 buttons for arcade games like Berserk and Scramble.
