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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Dead Ahead Zombie Warfare lurching to Vita

It seems like more publishers are just throwing games out at the Vita with no effort at news or promotion. Dead Ahead: Zombie Warfare is one of rash of titles suddenly getting trophy listings pretty much out of nowhere, and there's no sign of Russian dev Mobirate even acknowledging its existence (TBF, their social media hasn't updated since 2015/2017).

As a mobile game, we may be fearing the worst, but Dead Ahead: Zombie Warfare is pretty well rated and looks like fun, with distinctive characters and lots of weapons and skills. Among the expected games, other random titles like One Eyed Kutkh from Baba Yaga, and Deep Ones are popping up. A shame its more or less impossible to do any proper coverage, beyond putting up the original trailer, but do keep an eye out and let us know if you try these games out.

UPDATE: the game is now live on PSN for £15.99 with a stack of extra purchases likely to put quite a few people off.
