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.  Update: the Vectrex Kickstarter is live and blew past its first funding goal in ab out 15 minutes, and approaching £450K and 2,500 backers in its first day.   His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

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.
