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!

It might also help sales of the new Sly game, which met with decidedly whelmed reviews and, judging by the demo, lacked any particular sparkle. What might be cool is a Vita Legends pack with all the Jak and Sly games when the Vita price cut finally hits here, giving younger gamers a very attractive looking bundle to look forward to.
