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.

UK PS Vita chart, Ridge Racer on the rise

What's the power of a little positive press? Ridge Racer is the only real mover on the charts this week, up six places. The recent DLC (that's free if you have the Gold Pass) making it more of a full game and the hope of some decent content to come, sees it pop up the charts.

Sure, that might only be a few hundred extra sales, given the Vita's moribund state, and lack of new releases, but any progress is good news. If only this chart counted digital sales then next week you'd expect F1 2011 to get a kick thanks to the weekend sale (now over folks), but it won't, come on Chart Track, get a move on!
