VECOS is a Windows-like operating system for the Vectrex, a vintage game console, designed for the UVMC2 cartridge. The project is demonstrated in a video, showing how a classic system can run a modern-style interface.

Just when I thought the world couldn't get any more amazing for hacking stuff this week (M-VAVE FM1's firmware bonanza is a delight!), now I have a freakin' damn good reason to get my Vectrex out of storage (okay, another freakin' damn good reason) and give it a modern kick in the ol' capacitors.
Sheesh, hackers. Things are getting positively juicy. What's next, a hack that makes the Vectrex function as a HUD for DCS, maybe? (Hint: someone is indeed working on this...)

That looks bloody amazing. Would love to see this ported to PC, maybe even as a DE for Linux.
