Rantmedia games and ION have given me back a substantial portion of my childhood — the early days when I could be found sitting in front of an odd black box playing simple vector-based games with a controller connected via coiled telephone cord. So the controller isn’t corded this time around. Between the Vectrex Regeneration app and ION’s iPad arcade cabinet, I’m 11-years-old all over again.
As I mentioned in my initial post about Rantmedia’s mobile rejuvenation effort, I lost my Vectrex to a game of Russian Roulette. Every game, every colored plastic overlay gone in a tragic flash of teenage stupidity.
