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.

Polish Dev bringing Assault Armies to PS Vita

There may just be too many games with Army in the title heading to the PSV. The latest we got a snip about back in May, when the developer of Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder mentioned it was working on the Vita. Now, Bloober has signed a publishing deal with Kemco in Japan and will be bringing Assault Armies to the PSV for launch.


Not only is this the first Polish game ever to make it as a launch title on a console, it comes on the back of other Polish-developed games like Witcher and Blood Island, making the country a hot-bed of developer activity and innovation.



We're light on detail at the moment, there's a story on a Polish PSP site, but the game is a platform-game-puzzler, in the style of Lemmings and Lost Vikings which can't be a bad thing. The game will probably have a different publisher in Europe and the US but should be one to look out for.  That story also makes note of Tate's Urban Trials moto-x game, also from a Polish developer, also well worth a look.
