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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Destiny of Spirits downloaded 500,000 time, big whoop!

With Angry Birds games hitting the 2 billion download mark, its a half-glass-full moment to see a Vita game, a free one at that, only managing 500,000 downloads around the world. So, almost a third of the world has played Angry Birds, while barely 1-in-8 Vita owners have tried something Sony is offering for free. Perhaps some marketing, you know?

I've dipped in and out of Destiny of Spirits since the beta, but its never really grabbed enough to keep me playing. Perhaps another playthrough is in order? Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps!


If you're in a similar frame of mind, or have missed out, why not give the game a go now? Sony is putting up a host of cheaper in-app-purchases and some extra content coming should you get hooked by it? There's nothing wrong with the elemental battle game per se, it just took ages to do anything. If Sony could speed the play up a bit I might enjoy it a bit more.
