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?

PS Vitas turning up on eBay for import

So, avid gamer, your choice is wait a few months and pay £229/£289 for a western console on 22 February. Or dash online to eBay and pay £369 for the WiFi version (plus £40 - ouch - postage when you read the small print) to get one in the UK (hopefully) in time for Christmas.



A few other chancers are putting up adverts closer to £480 including postage while some are advertising 16GB memory cards for the Vita at £90 (4Gb a bargain at only £62). All-in-all, despite really wanting one, I'll hang on for a few months thanks.

Also, if its anything like previous gadget launches, there will be plenty of scams and dodgy offers around, so if you do decide to import, be careful!
