Try again. The Vectrex was a reasonably popular machine. It was simply unlucky enough to come into existence a mere year before the Great Video Game Crash of '83. In a Post-Crash World (apologies to John Katz), not a single *home-console* system did anything more than limp along. Everyone was buying computers like the Commodore 64, instead. It wasn't until Nintendo released the NES that home-console systems took off again.
