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. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

Sony's mystery games, which one is for Vita?

Recently Sony unveiled a dozen new indies across its range of consoles, with a couple being for the Vita (Axiom Verge and Drifter). Now the company has trademarked a bunch of all-new titles, including:

  • Guns Up!
  • Bloodborne
  • Everything's Game
  • Kill Strain
  • Entwined

Statistically, one of them should be a Vita title, likely due to be revealed at E3! Take your pick... Bloodborne sounds a little too "epic" for a handheld, while Kill Strain and Entwined sound either too hardcore or hint at a deepness that Sony probably won't risk on a portable. Which, I reckon, leaves Guns Up! or Everything's Game as the Vita title in the pack.

Note though, that Everything's Game is an Sony Online title, so could be a cross-platform, quiz type thing to bring family players together.

Your thoughts in this silly what's in a word game?
