About

I'm Nostalgia Nerd... I have an addiction to Nostalgia & things often categorised as "nerdy". I talk about software, hardware, games, toys, programs, magazines and other things from the 70s, 80s and 90s, sometimes with a liberal amount of dry humour. The channel's main focus is computer related items from the 80s & 90s. Feel free to visit my website, other social accounts listed below.

Head to [sponsor] https://squarespace.com/nostalgianerd to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code nostalgianerd ~ Think of the iconic video game consoles of the 80s, and you may not think of the Vectrex, but you should. The first vector based video game console, this thing was a work of art, and is just as much fun today as it was back in 1983. โŒšTimingsโŒš 00:00-02:48 Smith Engineering 02:48-05:05 The Vectrex 05:05-06:53 Vector Displays 06:53-09:18 Vectrex Components 09:18-10:31 Milton Bradley 10:31-11:16 SqSp 11:16-16:08 Launching the Vectrex 16:08-20:27 Decline of the Vectrex 20:27-24:00 Afterlife 24:00-24:38 Credits ๐Ÿ”—Video Links๐Ÿ”— Check out some Vectrex stuff! http://www.vectrex.co.uk/links.htm Erin Plays Vectrex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9LLEJ63_Rw 1980s News Report: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8xhFcxtxaM Jay Smith Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7kDxMgiFaM Western Technologies News: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txMSb1JK4HI KABC Eye: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fMef9nuXOo Kerry Decker CES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ8qmilo8ic ๐Ÿ† Support ๐Ÿ† Support my channel, get exclusive videos & perks, as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd from just $1 ๐Ÿช NN Shop & Affiliate Links! ๐Ÿช My eBay Shop: https://nnerd.es/NerdShop (Now Re-open!)
