R36S Vectrex Games

The 1982 Vectrex is the only home console with its own built-in vector monitor, drawing crisp glowing lines instead of pixels. Games shipped with plastic screen overlays to add colour, and the whole library fits in a handful of megabytes.

Perfect

on every R36 model (all use the RK3326 chip)

How well does Vectrex run on the R36S?

Full-speed on all R36 models. Emulators can draw the original screen overlays, which several games effectively require to be readable.

Vectrex on Each R36 Model

The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
