I have these vectrex cartridges for sale.  All are new in boxes 
with overlays and instructions.   Asking $10 each.

Armor..Attack
Berzerk
Blitz!
Clean Sweep
Cosmic Chasm
HyperChase
RipOff
Scamble
Solar Quest
Star Trek

Shipping is $4.25 for the first cartridge.  I will paying any
additional shipping for more than one cartridge.

I also have one Spike and one WebWarp ( WebWars ) cartridge.
These are cartridges only.  Same asking price because these
cartridges are not very common.


I am open to trades of all kinds.  I am looking for vectrex cartridges
that I don't have and would be willing to trade several for one if
the cartridge is in perfect condition with overlay and instructions and
box.

I am also interested in amiga, mac and ibm hardware/software as 
trades.

Here is the description of each game taken from the box.

Armor..Attack

	For one or two players.  Optional second control panel required
for simultaneous two-player game play.

ALL THE THRILLS OF THE REAL ARCADE VERSION!

Maneuver you jeep through the streets and alleys of an occupied town.
Hide from the enemy tanks behi behind buildings and launch your
own surprise attack!  prove your chance of survival by playing with
an ally.  But beware of the deadly helicopter flying overhead.. no
place is safe from this treacherous enemy.



Berzerk

	For one or two players.

ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF THE REAL ARCADE VERSION!

Maneuver your humanoid through the electrified mazes of robot-filled
rooms.  You may kill of the first group of robots but initial success
does not mean survival... future groups begin firing at you!  Added
danger lurks when Evil Otto enters.  He can jump the maze walls and
squash you if you linger too long!



Blitz!    ( action football)

	For one or two players.  Optional second controller required
for simultaneous two-player game play.

Will you have a championship season or just be an also-ran?  You're
in control as head coach of this championship caliber squad.  Run,
Pass, Punt, Kick Field Goals -- all the excitement of a real game.
Play against the computer's touch defense or invite a visiting head
coach to join in a real showdown!



Clean Sweep

	For one or two players.

Evil bank robbers have just blown your bank to smithereens.  As bank
president, you only have a vacuum available to recover the money
strewn among the rubble, before the thieves destroy you!  The thieves
get increasingly anxious, but for added challenge, turn off the lights
of the bank's corridors and gather the money through the blind maze.

( this is an interesting pac-man like game. -me  )



Cosmic Chasm

	For one or two players.

Can you save the galaxy by blowing up the alien-inhabited planet...and
get off the planet before you explode too?  You must burrow deep inside,
finding your way through the underground maze while battling the Planet
Protectors.  If you can get to the center, plant your one bomb and try
to find your way out.  It's only a matter of seconds before the planet
goes BOOM!



HyperChase  ( auto race )

	For one or two players.

Watch out for the guardrail!  You're behind the wheel of your formula
one racer about to start the world's toughest grand prix.  Shift
through all four gears as you try to stay alive through city streets
and country roads.  Fire up your engine -- the start lights are
counting down!

Scramble

	For one or two players.  

ALL THE THRILLS OF THE REAL ARCADE VERSION!

Watch out for that next mountain!  Maneuver your ship over rough
terrain in an effort to destroy the enemy base.  Careful piloting
alone won't get you to your destination...You must brave rockets,
UFOs, flamoids and some very tight tunnels.  Few people have ever
seen the enemy base, let alone destroy it.  Will you be one of
the select few?


Solar Quest

	For one or two players.

ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF THE REAL ARCADE VERSION!

How many types of alien vessels will you be able to destroy?  Seven
different types are after you.  You must first destroy them and

temperatures can destroy you.

Romulans are hiding in space, waiting to destroy you at every turn!
