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!

UPDATE: Here's a better quality video, with links to more, as we wait for the reviews to drop, will gamers finish it first?


Your thoughts? I can already sense sniffy reviewers lining up their "its not the PS3 version" quotes, but frankly, I could go for this.
