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.

EA doing the same Legacy Edition crap with FIFA 15

Prepare to be conned (in my opinion) yet again Vita owners, with EA Sports planning to rip you off (I guess) with the barest of updates to its FIFA 15 Legacy Edition. This page has popped up Amazon with the cover figure yet to be decided, but a late September release date.



What additions will EA add this time? A slightly different shade of green for the grass, a slightly bluer sky, Brighton in the Prem, who knows what mysteries await? All I know is one or two developers and artists changing a few lines of code and colours isn't worth £30 of anyone's money.

Yes, I know there are limitations to the graphics capabilities of all the systems (Wii and 3DS) getting the legacy editions. But, there's nothing to stop using the money EA raked in on FIFA 14 to add cross-system multiplayer, this Ultimate Team stuff, and some other improvements and extras.

On a practial note, the original FIFA Football is generally less than £10 in most places and offers pretty much the same gaming experience, so pick that up instead.
