>Any help/advice on how to not electrocute myself?
don't plug it in, and switch it on when you plan to touch anything close to the anode cap. Other than that, some thick rubber dish gloves aught to be enough to keep you safe.
>Ever played any Vectrex games?
Tons. Got my hands on a Vextreme cart. It's still in it's infancy so many games dont work, but considering the tons of homebrew games there are, you can play on it for quite a while. I got a good kick out of Berzerk arena.
> General thoughts and opinions on the console ?
I genuinely think there would have been a follow up console had the market not crashed immediately after they pushed it to market. That and if they had gotten some stronger game developement. The original games are great, but the homebrew scene has shown me there's so much more to it.

I'm gonna share my library of vectrex roms with you guys because it's a pain in the ass finding all the homebrews I've found. I'm 100% sure this isn't even all of them. Some are locked behind paywalls (still), and others are dumped source codes, but I have no idea how to compile a source code into a vectrex bin file.
Anyway, if any of you guys happen to have a game bin that I don't, please let me know and share it.
Here's the link to what I got. Enjoy.
