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 .

You'd hope that Demon Gaze would have launched with many more copies, but if this is the general state of Vita launches then it won't be threatening any best seller lists anytime soon.
