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!

Snow Light, a western visual novel to turn pages on the Vita

This seems to be a French title, and we know what creative geniuses they can be (still waiting for a Captain Blood remake). Snow Light comes from West Dragon Productions and OG Zone, who are behind the Dragon and Weed series.

Snow Light is a 2D action/ infiltration game (homebrew) taking place in a futuristic universe where you play a top assassin. The narrated story has cinematic action sequences and looks like a pretty slick adventure.



Not too much in the way of information, but here's a snippet from the prologue : February 2051, several months after the fall of Five Industry, a giant economy, defense, telecommunications company, an anarchist nicknamed the Black Mask organizes a nuclear attack against the United States.
