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!

That, Sonic Racing at No. 2 and Super Monkey Ball make it a pretty happy chart for Sega, Uncharted is now the only original launch game in the top 10, which should give them high hopes for PSO2. Sony's All-Stars Battle Royale is leaving the charts at a rate of knots, while Virtue's Last Reward makes a welcome reappearance down in the teens.
