Vectrex is a vector-based video games console released in 1982.
Just released a rather heavily modified port of vecx SDL version for MorphOS. Removed SDL_gfx use (and replaced with OpenGL) so it should be a lot faster than the original software renderer (didn't quite get that working on MorphOS, so can't benchmark)
Also added some features, such as joystick support, pause, overlay toggle, warp mode, and an option to render "trails" from previous frames.
For now, it's command line only program. Usage:
VecxGL
Overlay is an optional image (most games came with one) and actually rom is optional too, if not specified, it will run built-in Minestorm, which is quite nice Asteroids clone.

One of the nicest things: All original Vectrex games from the 80's are freely & legally available for non-commercial use, so knock yourself out.
Should be easy to recompile for OS4 and AROS too, cannot see why it wouldn't work without any changes. If you want software rendering, you can try recompiling the original, should also compile without any changes (although then you will also lose all other extra features added by me).
