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.

As a slave to an evil sorcerer, your life looks full of torment and misery, so don't expect many laughs in this one.

Developed by Marvelous, if you want a knife attack, lop off some fingers and they turn into blades. For a sword, just rip out your own spine and to launch a gorgon attack you'll need to gouge out your own eyes. Andriasang has some translations of the magazine article here and here.

Check out the earlier teaser video at the official site. I'm sure lots more will leak out over the day, but I'll leave it at that until the press event. Don't expect anything less than a 15 or Teen rating on this one.
