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!

Don't expect much in the way of new titles, at first. It looks like we'll be getting a steady stream of current hits including Feed Me Oil, Little Acorns, iBomber Defense and Roll in the Hole. But if there's enough interest it's not a massive challenge to bring new releases in parallel with their regular mobile equivalents.

I've played a bit of iBomber in the past, and that's likely the most core gamer friendly of them, but I'm sure the others all have their own quirks.
