I just received my Vectrex in the mail today and it's pretty awesome. The graphics are really something you don't see anywhere else, the youtube videos definitely don't do it enough justice. However I find it very hard to pick up overlays for it. I understand that they were included with the original game cartridge, however I plan on picking up a multi-cartridge. Does anyone have any advice for picking up the overlays?

Obviously ebay will probably be your best bet, since it's the largest community so you have a better chance at finding them. There are a few more gaming-oriented communities / websites to ask around on too though. Maybe something like Game Gavel or atari2600.com will have items show up periodically. Plus, if the site has a forum, there are experts you could get in contact with that can keep an eye out for stuff for you.

I'm jealous, the Vectrex is a really unique and awesome system. I keep holding out, hoping that one day I'll see one in the wild, but fat chance of that.

Found an ebay auction about a week ago that had every Vectrex overlay ever made. It ended at $300 lol. I like gaming but I'm not spending $300 on plastic :) I'll probably look into making overlay reproductions at home
