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!

But, if every Vita owner doesn't buy Soul Sacrifice anyway then the console is pretty much toast for the rest of 2013, since Sony doesn't seem to have much else in the bag (apart from another game from the Uncharted team).
