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 .

I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

  1. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified
  2. ModNation Racers
  3. F1 2011
  4. Plants vs. Zombies
  5. Doctor Who The Eternity Clock
  6. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
  7. Table Ice Hockey
  8. Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack
