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.

Spotted: NGP-Related Launch Countdown

While browsing the "NGP" tweets this morning I came across this one:

"NGP(NewGenerationPSP)に見せかけてNGP(NeoGeoPocket)かもしれない。>http://t.co/afGzNXV" from this chap.

A new emulator service being announced? Looking at all those consoles and given the power of the NGP, it could well be. Intriguing stuff - even if it turns out to be nothing, a nice piece of art.

The company behind it is a games publisher with Astonishia Story and other titles on its roster, but, based on the image, this is something a lot bigger than just a game.
