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?

MechRunner sprints to Kickstarter for Vita funding

Spark Plug Games are behind the effort, with the game feature complete. They're only asking for $25,000 to finish and polish the game for a July release, which is one of the faster turnarounds. $10 gets you a copy of the game on Vita, so why not? The higher reward tiers offer a model of the heroic mech, if you fancy.
