With the demise of Vectrex, my wife and I are trying to determine the
complete list of releases.  MAIL PLANE (for the light pen), 3-D POLE
POSITION, DARK TOWER and BATTER-UP all appeared in one catalogue or
another; were they actually released?  Also, did the keyboard ever appear?

For anyone interested in purchasing the system, Child World is selling the
machine for $40 and cartridges for $5.  Toys R Us sells the cartridges for
$7.  We've seen various Sears selling the machine for $99 and $60, and
cartridges from $15 to list price.  There is very little duplication in
the offerings of the different stores, at least so far.

What follows is a list of all the cartridges we have seen thus far.  Are
there any others?  Thank you for you help.

Fortress of Nazrod		Space Wars		Armor Attack
Cosmic Chasm			Pole Position		Starhawk
Star Trek			Spike			Ripoff
Web Wars			Clean Sweep		Polar Rescue
Blitz				Bedlam			Hyperchase
Spinball			Scramble		Star Castle
Berzerk				Solar Quest		Heads Up Soccer

For the light pen:  Melody Master, Animaction, Art Master

For the 3-D goggles:  Crazy Coaster, Narrow Escape, 3-D Mine Storm

Note that some of the above (such as Web Wars) never appeared in any
catalogue, which makes us wonder what else might be out.  Web Wars, by
the way, is a wonderful game with amazing graphics and is (to us) worth
the price of the system.
