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!

In Space no one can hear you brawl

Despite shooting a whole live action advert for this 16-bit looking shooter, Sony couldn't manage to fit a single Vita in, further demonstrating their commitment to one of the two lead games platforms it owns.

Developer Reply Forge hopefully has a lot more to do before this is finished. What I was hoping for after the first few seconds was something like Virgin's online PC shooter from the early net gaming days where space bombers and fighters ganged up on each other in big mazes (name escapes me).
