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?

Retro adventure Football Game kicks off on Vita this week

No, it won't take the place of a new FIFA, just as well the old ones are still perfectly playable. However, Football Game, from Cloak and Dagger Games, is a point-and-click adventure for Vita owners to boot about. Well-rated on Steam, the Vita version lands this week.



Anyway, the football is American and this a typical American high-school/college romp between a star player who's supposed to get the girl, but ends up in a mystery 80s adventure, with the usual cast of teachers, jocks and nerds.



Cloak and Dagger have a few adventures up their sleeves, so hopefully Ratalaika can port those too. A short adventure, it has a cool soundtrack too, so check it out and enjoy the nostalgia.
