A '''color wheel''' is a disc-shaped object for use with the [[3D Imager]]. When placed in the [[3D Imager]], it gives both the illusion of a 3D effect and colored vectors designated by the programming in the game the [[Vectrex]] is running. == Original Color Wheels == There were two different color wheels made and sold originally for use with [[3D Mine Storm]], [[3D Narrow Escape]] and [[3D Crazy Coaster]]. Both discs used translucent red, green and blue to tint the vectors, though there were different distributions given to each color. Half of the color wheel is always opaque black. While [[3D Mine Storm]] had its own designated color wheel, [[3D Narrow Escape]] and [[3D Crazy Coaster]] were packaged with the same identical one. The [[homebrew]] games [[3D Sector-X]] and [[3D Lord of the Robots]] had options for use of either color wheel. == Reproduction Color Wheels == A reproduction [[3D Imager]] has been made by [[Madtronix]] and utilized color wheels of an entirely different design, which is not interchangeable with original color wheels or original [[3D Imager]]s. An attempt at making a faithful exact replication of the original color wheels was attempted by [[Jason Bardis]] utilizing 3D printed plastic hubs and tinted laser-cut vinyl wedges; however, the project met with a number of impediments that made it only come to near completion and the parts were discarded unfinished. == Links == * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCQ-L12g8c4 Review] of 3D Imager and 3D games by VectrexRoli * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnwNOjJGdWo Review] of 3D Lord of the Robots by VectrexRoli [[Category:Miscellaneous Vectrex]]
