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.

Furmins to cause tribble on the Vita

Originally an iOS game, Furmins is a puzzler where the aim is to guide some fluffy creatures across fiendishly designed levels by rearranging a variety of items (in a Mousetrap or Incredible Machines style), as well as using bumpers and conveyor belts. Strategically placed items create pathways and physical chain reactions that guide the Furmins to the basket and level completion. Coming to the Vita via Housemarque and BeatShapers it should add neatly to the Vita's puzzler line-up.


The game is currently £1.99 on iOS, hopefully shouldn't cost too much more for the Vita vesion. Features include:
  • Unique blend of physics based set-up-and-go gameplay and real-time interaction
  • Multiple solutions offer players lots of creativity
  • 108 game levels across 9 game worlds (one as DLC)
  • Gorgeous HD graphics
  • Touchscreen or rear touch pad controls
  • Global and world scoreboards with filters (overall, friends, your score)
  • 12 PlayStation Network trophies
