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 .

escapeVektor arriving next week on PS Vita

Another cracking looking indie game, Nnooo's escapeVektor will be released on PS Vita through PSN in Europe and Australia/New Zealand for €9.99/AUD$15.95/NZD$18.90. It joins Surge, Big Sky Infinity and others in keeping the Vita rolling as we wait for 2013's big guns to be unveiled.


escapeVektor is a retro styled arcade game in which the player controls Vektor, an entity trapped inside the player’s CPU. The player has to help Vektor escape the CPU which has been holding him captive. In making his escape, Vektor must get through obstacles and avoid enemies, each with different hunting patterns and intelligence. As the player completes the various levels in the game, escape becomes more difficult. New abilities unlock to help the player outwit and destroy the CPU’s army. As the player continues through the game, old code and memories are unlocked which reveal more about Vektor’s past.
