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.

Dead Nation pops its clogs on PSN for Vita

History suggests we should be worried rather than delighted when a decent game turns up almost unannounced on your console. 2010's Dead Nation for PS3 from Housemarque (Super Stardust) was mentioned for the Vita ages ago. But subsequently nothing, until now, with a release on Tuesday in the States and Wednesday 16th April in Europe as a PSN release.

The conversion has been handled by Climax, who handled the recent PS4 updated version. In Dead Nation you fight off hundreds of zombies on-screen, with lots of online leaderboards to track the carnage, with a multiplayer mode for added spice.


Dead Nation will cost €7.99, and the Road of Devastation DLC can be purchased separately for €3.99, or for the complete experience, at the best price, you can pick up the bundle for €9.99. Anyone who has previously purchased the PS3 game or Road of Devastation, will be entitled to the PS Vita versions at no extra cost, thanks to cross-buy.
