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?

The need for apps to have those annoying Live Screens is probably my last major gripe about the user interface.

The app will also come to iOS and Android devices, but since the Vita is the only one with buttons, that has a massive advantage for actually playing the games. It should look something like the image below, which is a little too close to Windows 8 for my tastes, but Sony has otherwise done a decent job of making a neutral-looking UI.
