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?

GTA III headed to Android, no Xperia Play?

The game is out next week for £2.99 and celebrates the games 10th birthday. Hopefully it will be playable on the Xperia Play, not sure I want to all that fighting and driving on a touchscreen - more news next week I guess.

Update: Word from Sony Ericsson's PR is they haven't heard anything about this title yet - hot on the case, obviously!
