I had this! I absolutely loved it! I would take this outside all the time. I would have it jump over a huge remote control truck that I also used to have. 

Who had a sweet bike like this?  I had a knockoff from Montgomery Wards.  No shifter on mine though.

 

Did anyone play with these?

I actually have. My clothes were washed in it too.

Looking forward to this. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, that is cool!

VecMulti is designed and loaded for use in an actual Vectrex/光速船 / Kousokusen video game system console using the cartridge slot. Usage for any other purpose including loading the SD card into an emulation platform is not guaranteed to work. No support will be provided for use in any device other a real and properly functioning Vectrex / 光速船 / Kousokusen video game system console with VecMulti inserted into the system console cartridge slot. 
Compatible with, and for play in, all regions of the Vectrex video game system by Milton Bradley (MB), General Consumer Electronics (GCE), and Bandai バンダイ (光速船 / Kousokusen). Vectrex games, Controllers, 3D Imagers, and other accessories are not region specific to a particular Vectrex console. The manual language printing (Canada dual / Europe multi / Japan), box printing (Canada dual / Europe multi / Japan), and overlay printing (Japan) are the only differences. 
The Vectrex is a classic 1982 vector graphics based video game system created by Smith Engineering and General Consumer Electronics (GCE). Later purchased and marketed by Milton Bradley (MB) as well as licensed for distribution and sale in Japan by Bandai. Made in 1982, 1983, and 1984. 

The complete list of titles currently included on the micro SD card included with the VecMulti shown below.
There is more space avaiable on the micro SD card to add other games.
Note: Some titles are multi-game files including 2, or more, titles inside each.

My great-grandmother had one and she used it!  She also had one of these...

These should be remembered...

Did you ever see one of these in action?
 

When our oldest was 7 he spent the summer in NYC with both sets of grandparents. We gave him a Polaroid to take with him and to this day, he has an album full of pictures that he took from that summer. The camera might still be in his apartment. 

Here's another video from the guys from Into The Vertical Blank collecting multiple print ads.  These from the CRASH!
 

Back in the day or even in my collection years I have never owned one of these or any of the PONG-type consoles before the Atari 2600. An interesting time, anyone own one back in the day or since? 🤔

Yes, this was a great free release for the CV! 

I didn’t see this posted, but apologize if it is on another thread.

Hey guys, long time no update!  I've put out a ton of content since the last time I posted.  We do a review every Sunday and a "featured" video every Thursday.  Usually featured videos are about what's going on with Atari and the community, covering classic consoles and releases, buyers guides and stories about our favorite hobby!  For example, last week we reviewed California Games for the Atari 2600:
And we covered the 2600+ versus the Retron 77... Which will be getting a follow up so I can clear up some errors and talk about my experience since the unboxing!
I also host a podcast with Funkmaster V from Big N Funky Productions over on YouTube, in The Atari Network Podcast Brought to you by atari7800forever.com!  Last week we talked about some of what happened in 2023 along with the usual news and events in the world of Atari!  Check it out if you haven't:
But the main reason for this update is the possibility of merch coming soon.  I had somebody ask about if that's something we would do and said they would rock a shirt about the podcast or Atari Network.  I never considered that anybody would be interested in merchandise but there appears to be a small amount of people wanting it.  So right now I'm shopping around providers and mocking up designs for a limited merch run.  Whatever I do will probably be in limited quantities as I don't want to be on the hook for lots of stuff that doesn't sell.
Right now I'm designing the coffee mug but also plan on offering 3-4 unisex t shirt designs, a "tumbler" or travel mug, baseball cap, stickers and vinyl decals for car bumpers etc.  I envision there being an Atari Network shirt, a 7800 Pro Gamer shirt and possibly a podcast shirt if Vinnie agrees.  If you'd like to see something else let me know. 
This merch type stuff is probably a few months away from being released as I want to make sure whatever I sell to you is quality and affordable.  But once they sell out their done unless they go stupid fast which I doubt.  So for those of you who asked for it I promise it's coming, and everyone else don't feel obligated.

With all that said thank you guys for the continued support and making this YouTube thing so much fun.  This week I'm doing a video about why the Atari Jaguar is so expensive and if it's really worth the cost today and there will be a review of Delta Space Arena for the Atari 7800 by Video61.  I'm also working on reviews for Madness Beverage, 5200 version of HERO, and much more.  I'm also hoping to do an awesome project with somebody close to Atari in the 80's and 90's especially the Jaguar! 
So subscribe if you haven't, and Stay Classy Atarians!
 

You can see the “kick stand” in action, in this pic.

Much appreciated.  Keep posting them as you find them.
