Great recreation of a classic

I owned the original Vectrex game system. This is an amazing re-creation, and was obviously created with love for the original. Many people are complaining about the subscription model. The game used to be available as a one time purchase. The company is still honoring those who actually bought the game years ago. Customer service was a little slow in responding, but ultimately restored my purchase.

I miss Vectrex

I remember when I first got this app. It had a lot of the old Vectrex games I remember playing as a kid. It was a great way to spend the evening after coming home a stressful day at work & being able to unwind by playing video games. Took me back to my youth when you would just go in & play a game for fun. Then it changed. Now you need to pay to play video games. Now please do not get me, I am not again sit anybody trying to make a buck! I really wish I could subscribe, but thanks to Covid 19 which is still around, I am out of work at the moment. I hope that changes so I can go to college to learn how to make video games myself, but please don’t change what we love about this app. You might have been asked this by others, but is there anyway I can please get the old Vectrex format back so I can continue to play the games I loved? If so, please let me know how?

Pure Greed

I have owned this game for many years on my Phone and iPad. Used to Love it. The game I PAID FOR no longer works and I’m forced to pay $5 a month or $60 a year to play?? Are you kidding me??? I can almost understand if you let the customers that supported you by buying this game years ago Keep their game but you no longer support the game I PAID For and now are forcing me to pay a monthly fee to play a game? Yeah, ok. What has happened to this world where everything is subscription based? As if I don’t have enough monthly bills that now I’m going to pay monthly for a game…..A GAME? You can keep it

No reply from customer support

I have tried repeatedly to get access to the games that I paid for years ago before this became subscription-based. After multiple emails saying that they would get back to me in 24 hours, no email follow up has ever been sent. I have supplied them with my receipt showing that I paid for all the games on the shelf, but I am currently unable to access them.

I loved my vectrex

I loved my Vectrex but I’m not going to pay for a subscription. I’m going to stick with playing my “Cosmic Cannonade” game app for now since it’s free with no ads.

Not a free game. Does not work.

This game does not work. The store website does not respond. You have to sign up for their monthly plan to play. And you cannot.

This is not a free game with in-app purchases.This is a subscription required game.

Except it isn't. The store website is down. You cannot play anything at all.

I have no idea how will this recreates the Vectrex. I cannot play.

Removed Original App Even for Original Purchasers

I bought this app before they took it off the App Store and previous downloads, and are forcing the subscription. Completely unethical business model.

Vectrex

I payed to have all the games when the app came out and now you’ve changed it and I’ve lost my games changed to a monthly subscription I want my money back !!!!

Great execution, $5/month way too much

So you can play. For $60/year. No thanks for a phone emulation. Subscription models are horrible. Just charge me for the app, and maybe additional games, like Cectrex originally did.
