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.

Starlight Inception gets Remastered

I think most will agree that Starlight struggled on its transition form the PC to the Vita. But, to their credit, developer Escape Hatch has been plugging away at a patch which has now cleared Sony US testing, EU to follow.

UPDATE: The EU Patch is now live on PSN (redownloading everything now, may take a while) and comments coming in suggest the team has done a stellar job with the upgrade:
From my initial play tonight It's right back where it deserves! The ultimate space 'combat sim' for Vita! Seriously it now feels more like a native Vita game and less like a PC port.
 Here's the improved in-cockpit view, with better text and better lit ships in space

And the outside view has far clearer text, while the fog effect on ground levels has been improved. 

It's a big fella at 2.2GB, and has tons of fixes and improvements, if you gave up on the game first time around, perhaps give it a second try. Definitely worth the title Remastered and hopefully will encourage the developers to keep the games coming.
