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? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128.

Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Sony tease new mystery release, do you recognise this eclipse?

Dark out innit? This bleak but pretty image is up on Sony's Facebook page, which at first made me think Destiny, but now the "clever" money is on Dust 514, a PS3 game that has a Vita companion app, but we were promised the full experience at some point.


There's a lot of dark space to be hiding secret messages, and lines within the eclipse band, but having had a quick play with the image, there's nothing too obvious. In various lights it looks a bit Aliens, or Quake even or Demon-Cat-emerging-from-a-Black Hole-like (below). Any guesses? Say what you see, kids?


When Worlds Collide was a sci-fi novel, that became a movie in the fifties, although this is unlikely to be linked.
