Do any of you own this old system? I've wanted one for a long time now, but have yet to actually put some cash aside to buy it. I'm a huge classic arcade vector graphics fan, and this was the only home console system that did 'em justice.

I've tried one at the last two SC3 events and there's another one coming up in September, which is what reminded me of them again. They're absolutely awesome and self-contained, so I really wanna get one.

How many vector systems were there? I thought the choices were limited to the vectrex or a computer.

I was trying to get one locally, due to the shipping costs. The guy I bought my 3D0 had one, but would not part with it. Probably don't need anything else crowding up my living room anyways.
