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?

More girls in dungeon crawling fun with Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss

Catching up some pieces I missed from earlier in the month, meet another game featuring girls in dungeons. Last year, I ran a story about CyberFront's upcoming RPG - Operation Abyss, but then the company got into trouble and was dissolved back in December. Now the various games it was working on have been snapped up by other parties and the RPG-specialist trifecta of mages, 5bp and Experience are bringing this, full name Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss to the small screen.


The game is out next month and joins the game's prequel Labyrinth Cross Blood Infinity Ultimate from the same team, adding to the Vita's strongly growing dungeon crawler roster. This limited edition will feature characters from Chaos Head Noah to add to its cachet.
