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?

Deception IV lets you play nasty

The Deception series started out on the first PlayStation, some 18 years ago. Now we're up to Deception IV: Blood Ties which will hit EU shelves at the end of March for PS3 and Vita. In this follow up to the classic Tecmo title "Devil’s Deception" - Deception IV follows Laegrinna, an animated fragment of an imprisoned Devil’s soul, as she battles enemies by luring them into strategically placed traps.

Laegrinna's victims are dealt with in all sorts of gruesome ways, from rolling boulders and spiked walls to spring boards, players can choose from a multitude of dramatic, sadistic and comical traps. Mixing strategy and action, and banana peels, the game comes with an 18 rating, it promises pain suffering and shame, lovely! The Vita version is promising a few extras beyond using the touchscreen to trigger traps.
