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!

Football Manager 2013 for PSP still selling well

Sport's Interactive's outstanding management game is now in its 21st year and the PSP version got a nod from the developer talking about the game's record breaking sales for the latest version.

“In a year where the market is down almost everywhere, we’re significantly up, double digit up on a global level,” said studio boss Miles Jacobson. “FM Handheld on iOS is also double digit up, over half a million units sold globally. Even the PSP game did better than we expected. “For a studio that’s in its 21st year now, to still see record sales is something we are really proud of.”

Full story on MCV, the games has been No. 1 in the PSP chart since its release, duelling with FIFA 13 and PES 13, making football about the only retail game in town. Hopefully a proper Vita version will leap off the bench for next year.
