Very cool. Never owned one, but as a pre-teen in the early 80s I would get dragged to the department store with mom so she could clothes shop. I was damn lucky they had an electronics section with a Vectrex demo unit on display. Saved me from death by boredom.

Ha Mr. Wizard!
That Vectrex GCE pen was indeed early (did not know until you posted Mr. Wizard video). I recall two others around the same time: Gibson and Symtec.
