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 he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version?

Certainly it sounds like the game is on course for the top spots in the chart, although the PS3 version is likely to beat it to No. 1. It went on sale on the 24th and as the most expensive Vanillaware game ever at over $1 million, the only question is just how many were shipped? It looks like the Vita is getting two hit games on the bounce though, which can't be a bad thing for hardware sales. Next up, God Eater 2 in November.
