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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death Heading to PSP

The Fighting Fantasy series got many a kid started in D&D and Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death is considered one of the most controversial books in the series, I just remember the first couple personally, but what great journeys they were. (Press release text below - off down pub!)



Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death will be coming soon to PlayStation Minis and will include a new tile-based combat system as well as the classic dice based system the fans know and love, so players can experience the classic gaming book in a whole new way.



Fighting Fantasy: Talisman of Death also features a wealth of other features which build on the books. A 3D interface brings the book to life, an all-new Log book will now show you every previous journey through the game, preventing any unnecessary backtracking, and a Bios book will give you inside information on all the game book’s characters, items and weaponry. New Character Creation, Luck and Skill test systems are also on hand to enhance the experience on PSN, keeping the old rule set but presenting things to the fans in a new and exciting way.


What with the likes of Drums Challenge and Ninjaurai, looks like the minis are finally get a bit of spark to them!
