Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

New Widget Added To Site

I've just added 2leep's cute story-adding widget that makes both PSP2roundup and Wii2roundup a little more exciting to look at and adds an extra little. Do you think it makes the site look busier, more newsy, or is it a distraction?


Let us know, hopefully you'll like it, but if it gets a big thumbs down then I'll can it. If you like it, then its free to add to your own Blogger, Wordpress or other site and comes with a neat stats page so you can monitor additional views that it helps bring to your site.

Not sure about the use of random (I think) pics to some imageless posts, that could get a bit tricky if the wrong keywords are triggered, but we'll see. I've also asked the devs for an option to only show posts from the last week to increase relevance. Now, on with the show.
