Anyone have a Vectrex Light Pen? box

I do, complete in box. Ever once in a while I take it out and draw some fun stuff with it. I remember that I took a picture when I drew a kind-of galaxy picture with some asteroid floating in space around stars as dots and some other random stuff. The light pen cost my a good lump of cash but in my opinion it's worth it. I personally love this attachment but a little.. more like a lottle to pricey for my taste. All I need is art master an vectrex and light pen and I can be entertained for hours (I have a long attention span)
What do you like drawing with a light pen?

I have a repro light pen, but to be honest I haven't used it too much.
Animaction is fun to play with tho...

How did this work?

I have the repro light pen and art master and animaction. Have had a lot of fun with it, though it can be quite tedious at times. It's difficult to be precise. Both programs have crazy limitations, but i've actually found the art master animation mode to be more useful than animaction. The stuff i've been doing in art master can't be done in animaction.

It would be sweet if somebody developed a new animation cartridge for the vectrex.

Plugs into player 2 controller port. Used in conjunction with a regular controller in player 1 port. Sensor in tip of the pen detects a cursor on the sceen.

It sure would be cool if one of y'all would do a animation and video it, so those of us without a lightpen could see what it's like.
