Our (richer) cousins got bored of their vextrex, so it passed to my siblings and I. At the time I thought it was near magical, not needing to take over the family-television, or load games from cassette. I still remember the fun of playing games with the wrong overlay placed over the screen. For those who don't know the vextrex used vector graphics, only in white, and alongside the cartridges each game contained a transparent piece of plastic with colours, score-labels, etc, which you placed over the screen. The wikipedia article has a couple of brief pictures that make this more clear than my early-morning words could: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex
