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?

Spy Hunter and Sonic Racing first up in Amazon's pre-Black Friday deals, some UK offers too

America (and to a lesser extent, the rest of the world) is ramping up for the sales silly season, with Black Friday (November 29) and the following Cyber Monday representing insane deals, mad spending sprees and so on.

Amazon is dragging out its regular deals well before that time with some new offers for US buyers. Spy Hunter is under $10 and Sonic at $17. The only really cheap game on Amazon UK is Virtua Tennis at £7.50 which has actually gone up a bit, but still well worth it.

There are a few sub-£15 PS Vita Bargains here for UK types, with Need for Speed and Metal Gear HD among them. The offers and deals should get more interesting toward the end of the month, if you can tear yourself away from your PS4?
