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 raw materials, naturally enough, lie in monster infested dungeons that must be cleared out by you and a party of fighters. Which should spice things up a bit.


No pics yet, but some content should be along shortly, with more details promised in this week's Dengeki. Apparently it will be a more male-oriented version of the Criminal Girls game. Those naughty ladies are heading west, so hopefully we'll get our hands on this guy's chopper too.
