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!

Eliminage III Coming to PSP in June

As a long time fan of Bard's Tale (the proper ones, not the crappy 3D console editions), Eye of the Beholder and many other step-by-step RPGs, I spent a fair amount of my childhood in sewers hitting rats with sticks. That fantasy could be relived with Eliminage III, a new title out in June in Japan from Starfish.




With all the essentials of character and party creation, huge dungeons to explore and lots of rats (and sticks) - but don't worry things should get more impressive as you progress - this should fulfil every RPGer's dreams. Just hope it comes out in the west, although none of the previous games did.

Here's a video from the second game to give you a clue, has anyone been brave enough to import it, or No. 1, and see if its playable through the fog of Japanese?
