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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Wakey, wakey! Its Wake Up Club on the Vita

This is out now on the US PSN, hopefully we get it this week or next, but the app has been tingling my spider senses since it was announced in Japan. With trophies to win, what could be more socialising than beating your friends to the punch, when it comes to getting up. From the US PSN blog:
As soon as your alarm goes off, your avatar will begin bouncing around the PS Vita touchscreen. Tapping your avatar lets other players know you’re now awake. Once in the virtual club room, you can see other players’ avatars, as well as who’s awake and who’s still sleeping. Tapping the sleeping players’ avatars will “cheer” them on. If you happen to keep snoozing though, you’ll notice that the rest of the Wake-up Club players will begin appearing on your screen.
I don't normally do trophy lists, but here's what you can get for turning your Vita into an alarm clock, I guess those averse to wake-up calls won't be winning many of these.

    Such a simple Vita app/game but yet soo satisfying. Love cheering on members of wake up club cause to me it's that annoying little brother or sister who comes in your room and starts bouncing on your bed at 6 am. Lol
