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!

If anyone wants to develop a realistic driving game for the Vita, you have a couple of years to turn it around. We do have WRC3 to look forward to and Need for Speed Most Wanted on the way, but lack that genre defining title that the potential Vita owner might be looking for.
