The Vectrex is a vector display video game console released in 1982, known for its unique use of a monochrome vector screen rather than raster graphics. It featured built-in games and offered a distinctive gaming experience with overlays for color and depth. The console was notable for its portability, as it had a self-contained screen, but ultimately, it struggled commercially and was discontinued in 1984. Despite its short lifespan, the Vectrex has gained a cult following among retro gaming enthusiasts.

What is rasterization?
Rasterisation is the progressive scanning of an image in a line by line fashion. TV and computer displays are scanned left to right line by line and so are raster displays. Vectorisation or vector graphics are the opposite of rasterisation. In this method of display the image is drawn in a point to point method. An oscilloscope is an example of a vector display. Raster graphics have the advantage of having the same refresh rate all the time irrespective of the complexity and colour depth of the image drawn (this is not the same as the framerate). All home computers now use a raster display output. Vector graphics can be coloured but are line drawings only. Examples of this type of colour vector display is the 1980's game Starwars or the monochrome Vectrex games consol from the same period.
