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?

Fez finally hits the Vita this month

Has its light slipped over the years as the mighty Minecraft has become the indie game to play? Possibly, but Vita owners who have missed out on the Xbox experience should still try out this excellent dimension-busting adventure, in native resolution to boot.

UPDATE: Ohh, it was so worth all the praise. Fez offers a gorgeous opening into the world, clever use of scale, topped off smart or brutal puzzles (love the QR code) and great use of shade and bold colours. What a little beauty.
