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.

Idea Factory's I Doll U packs in the pun

I was wondering where our monthly does of Idea Factory otomate fun was. Here they come, cranking out another visual novel, but I do like the titular pun, I didn't know the Japanese went in for that level of humour. I Doll U is probably your very typical otome fare, boy meets girl, boy is called Kevin, who runs and hides in the bushes (or something). Hard to tell since this is just the obligatory character introduction video.



Is there any humour beyond the title? Guess we'll never know unless the company spots a growing western trend for these games. I mean, one guy is already called Kevin, that's half the translation work done for them right there.

You want more? Sure why not? Here's another video for RooT <> Rexx, a more polished looking affair and also brand new from Idea Factory. It has an official site if you give a monkeys about what the heck this story will be all about.
