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! 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.

Vita marches on at E3, who needs Sony?

Yep, nothing to see, move on to our over-priced PC - says Sony! But no, say gamers and publishers, who lit up the Vita's social media bubble with gaming goodness overnight. For a start, there's the sizzle reel that Sony should have shown.
Then there's a quickfire blast of new and physical releases, demonstrating the value of Vita owners to those who may have forgotten about terms like loyalty and value. Tobyfox is bringing Undertale, the RPG with a pacifist option, our way. There's a basic version with card and manual or a Limited Edition from FanGamer that includes a physical copy, Undertale soundtrack on 2 CDs, sheet music booklet, a gold-plated music-box locket all in a neat collector’s box


Limited Run is bringing this lot our way in physical form:

  • 2064 ROM 
  • Bard's Gold 
  • Claire 
  • Croixleur Sigma 
  • Factotum 90 
  • Mercenary Kings 
  • VA-11 HALL-A
Highlighting how viable the little Vita community is, and that with just a little budget and marketing great things can still be achieved.
