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!

This week's Famitsu Vita game scores:

Adventure Story of the Goold Old Days  [27/40]
Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 6: Gentou Rondo [35]
Hatsuru Kotonaki Mirai Yori [29]
