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. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex.

Elemental's Reborn Kickstarter goes back in the incubator

The rather smashing-looking cyberpunk action RPG Reborn was announced for Kickstarter a few weeks back, but has been put on hold due a delay in the team getting a solid-looking gameplay example together. As the company puts it:
Elemental-Labs has been working tirelessly to get gameplay footage up and running to show to fans, but it appears that it will take another several weeks to finalize. They know that without in-game footage, their audience will not be convinced of their ability to make a game. So, rather than having the project end without showing sufficient assets to the audience, they have decided to cancel the project for the time being and relaunch it with gameplay footage in November.
 So, if you were keen on this game then watch out for the relaunch of the Kickstarter campaign in a few weeks. As mentioned in the first story, the Vita stretch goal is a pretty big one, but if a decent gameplay video helps get it there, then it would have been worth the delay.
