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 Gothic Rolling to PSP, Official Site Opens (Japanese)

Japan's Starfish is bringing some seriously classic-looking role-playing to the PSP with Eliminage Gothic. There's an army of screens over on Andriasang, but just imagine the best bits of Eye of the Beholder, Ishar or other 16-bit RPGs and you get the idea.

The official site has just opened, and the game is slated for a May release. Little hope of any western release I suspect, unless anyone knows better?
