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 .

Wizorb, a new mini for PSP and PS Vita

Just for a second I was thinking someone had brought the wonderful Wizball back from the 8-bit days, but this is in fact a breakout game dressed up as an 8-bit RPG from Beatshapers, who have done sterling work on keeping the mini catalogue growing.



Set in the once peaceful Kingdom of Gorudo, a land threatened by an evil presence, the only hope for salvation is Cyrus, a wizard versed in a secret magic art called Wizorb! Explore many strange places from the derelict monster infested town of Clover to Gorudo Castle atop Cauldron Peak. Danger lurks around every corner so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and have quick reflexes in order to survive.

•             An all-new block-breaking game set in a fantasy world
•             Use your magic wand to bounce the orb and cast various magic spells
•             Over 60 levels in 5 different worlds
•             Epic boss fights and multiple endings and bonus levels

Some screenshots are on show at the game's official page.
